This stop also blocks views of the crosswalk. We witnessed two pedestrians trying to cross from north to south nearly get hit by drivers who couldn't see them. Perhaps it would be better to close this entire stop all together and only use the RM West & City Market stops due to the multiple issues.

Yes, it happens every day to drivers as well, and it shouldn't, but that doesn't have any bearing on this particular instance, but we do appreciate you highlighting that illegal parking is a problem for all transportation users. Thank you!

Also, please note, this is a protected bicycle lane, so exiting it to get around an illegally parked car requires a bit more care which means slowing down & losing momentum to safely exit. This puts riders in danger by joining existing cars traveling at 25+mph but the bike is at a much lower speed

For one, this is a two way cycle track, so a rider going in the opposite direction of this parked van has to exit into oncoming traffic.
