We are sending this to staff. SCF does not believe that this is a protected bike lane and parking is allowed. We will follow up.

This program all over the city has made a mess of the roads and is unsightly with the constant repainting. Why would any city take a two lane road and make it a one lane road by painting bike lanes?
What a mess and waste of public dollars.

Thanks for the comments Johnhinnc.
Alex. You bring up some great points. Please give us a call at 919-996-3050. This is in Dist. A. Please ask to speak to Council Member Thompson.

Enforce parking regulations here and push these cars into the neighborhood streets. Let it alone.

If parking on this street is allowed and is that heavily used, then why isn't the bike lane on the outside of the parking lane like in other parts of the city (downtown, for example)? I just don't understand why money was wasted on painting lines on the street when they can't be utilized. If these cars are people working at nearby businesses, why aren't those businesses providing parking for their employees? Nearly the entire length of the bike lane is occupied all day long. I appreciate that there is a bike lane there because people driving cars in this town have no idea how to deal with bikes and this area is incredibly unfriendly to bike traffic so having this lane is, I believe, a good thing. However, I don't understand how it is supposed to be used for its intended purpose if it is completely blocked with parked cars. I don't really feel that my question has been answered.

Alex. We asked that you call us. We have not heard from you.

The cars are now parked on both sides of St Albans. We've also notice some issues with littering. Do they have a permit for this?

@Kate: Isn't this just a temporary minor inconvenience for a long-term good for the neighborhood and community? I assume the construction has made parking unavailable within the North Hills properties since they seem to be building all over that property.

If you would like to discuss this further please call Capt. Tommy Klein with the RPD. You can reach Chad at 919-996-1468.

Is it a secret?

No Alex. It would just be a better use of your/our time to have residents call Capt. Klein. He will be happy to talk with anyone who calls.
