Adams Street between Willoughby and Tillary has a notoriously bad track record in terms of illegal parking and bicycle lane infringement (as the two posts we’ve done on it attest). So we were happy to see some incremental improvement as we pedaled our way north on the downtown thoroughfare. First observation: The Marriott deserves big props for keeping the bike lane in front of the hotel completely free and clear of livery cabs (top photo); too bad they don’t have any control over the police and court workers who use the other side of the utility road as their personal garage. (Though there is one rogue parker the hotel could do something about—click through to see.) No such praise is merited in the block closest to Tillary, however: As you can see from the lower photo, this was jam-packed with parkers on both sides. Sigh.
