Dealer Selling Cars from Bike Lane!!!

I was heading south on Elston this morning and a car dealer had three cars for sale parked in the bike line. The dealer is just north of Hamlin. I yelled "This is a bike lane" to what might have been a sales person and gestured to the lane, but I didn't have time to take a picture. Hopefully they moved the cars. If not someone should take a picture. I will check it out on my way home.

Get the location and the business name. Ride your bike up there during business hours and call 911. Let us know how that goes, I am sure Garry McCarthy himself will show up.

"Some of the calls would be reassigned to the 311 system of nonemergency calls, and some would be deemed not worthy of even that response, he said."

"Reducing the kinds of calls police have to answer in person affects officers' workloads in safe neighborhoods as well as high-crime areas, Shane said. And in areas with low crime, eliminated categories of 911 calls may make up a higher percentage of the workload than in places riddled with shootings and drug dealing."

Not sure why this is so hard to get across, but if you call 311 as you recommended they will simply transfer you to 911, tieing up both systems needlessly. And with that, on the assumption that you joined thechainlink with the express intent of anonymously picking fights, posting misinformation, and disparaging people, this is my last communication to you or in response to you.

The fact you disagree does not make you right!
