Posts about Funeral Parking
Bike and funeral parking lane: A church on 15th Street encouraged visitors to park in the cycle track for a recent funeral, giving cyclists no safe way to ride south. (TBD) ... M.V.Jantzen caught a Taxi Commission enforcement officer parking in the lane, too. (WashCycle) (Comment)
Parking rites: Michael Neibauer gets more details of Michael Brown's proposed exemption for funeral attendees from parking tickets. It doesn't let them park anywhere they want, but just to park for free at meters and use residential parking zones for more than the allowed two hours. Having some way to use residential zones is reasonable, though a better approach would be to let anyone buy a day pass, whether for a funeral or anything else, and to allow longer meter stays though still not free. Phil Mendelson, Mary Cheh, Kwame Brown, and Harry Thomas cosponsored. (Examiner) (Comment)
Parking
It's not the funeral lane
Reader Sean sends along this particularly egregious example of bike lane blocking. A whole row of cars parked in the bike lane in front of the church at 14th and Corcoran, NW. This was for a funeral, and while my condolences go to the family, that doesn't constitute an exception to the rule against parking in the bike lane.
