For the past two weeks or so, a number of the same 8-12 cars have been using part of the protected bike lane in front of the courts as a parking lot. They’re a mix of New Jersey / New York Plates, and a security guard nearby said he thought they might be there for something having to do with the upcoming terror trials.

If that’s true, the negative side effects of the trials are already starting with the misuse of an otherwise safe bike lane. None of the vehicles parked in the bike lane here (for up to 8hrs at a time) even bother to display fake placards, so there’s probably no tickets being issued.

Hope someone is up for taking this on. CCRC? Streetsblog?
