Maryland football fans have been illegally parking in the bike lanes along University Boulevard (Route 193). Bill Kelly of CPABC has been working the issue with UMD and County officials for years, but seems to have run into problems with the county since the school says the road is outside of it's jurisdiction.
County police have told The Gazette that they are understaffed and that violent crime in the area is their first priority.
Reminds me of the line from Friends when Joey says they'll help him with his robbery "after they solve all the murders"
DC also has a bike lane parking/driving problem and seems to exert no effort to enforce the law. It was one of the issues brought up in most wards during the bike plan workshops. As someone once told me, the best way to keep cars out of the bike lanes is to put bikes in them.
