Reply to comment by invalidmail2000 in As a driver, New Jersey Ave NW has absolutely convinced me that protected bike lanes are the right decision. by sloowhand

They are doing their job. Do you really expect Uber eats drivers to try to find parking? Do you want your Uber picking you up far from your location on a rainy night? Recognize the reality of the situation and don’t live in a fantasy land.

Maybe the corporations responsible should be lobbying the city to convert street parking into delivery/loading zones. It's odd that you put the blame on the bike lanes instead of the business model of Uber and doordash which is ruining the city.

Ruining the city? Lol

Agree to disagree there as well

You don't think constant double parking and blocking bike lanes is ruining the city? It's extremely dangerous and unfair to everyone else. Again, not blaming the drivers. We need less on street parking and more delivery/loading zones for delivery drivers.

Yes, I expect people to follow laws of general applicability. "I don't want to follow the law because it's more profitable if I don't" is some libertarian hellscape shit.

You’re not living in reality if you think that. It’s 2022.

You should put that presaved note in all your Ubers.

“Please find the nearest parking spot and I will find you”

I literally have. Or told them to pull into a specific spot where parking isn't legal but standing is.
