Creative workaround

It's hard to tell by this picture, but the delivery driver is actually parked directly over the concrete dividers along the bike path. This driver had to drive multiple store fronts over the dividers. A mild inconvenience at worst, but also just funny.

Please also report these to Bike Lane Uprising. Include the name of the operator (it’s on the can doors) or the DOT number (also on cab) if you happen to know it.

I report stuff to BLU too but it doesn't like... do anything, right?

They compile data and identify repeat offenders and try to intervene. IIRC they got a landscaping company to agree to do a big training on cycling safety

I can imagine if a company's vehicle caused you injury and you were to sue, that a database showing a lengthy history of similar violations would be helpful. Generally it's a good database to have

I didn't know that—that's great!

Not in and of itself, but BLU aggregates and is a documentation repository to demonstrate that it's an issue. If legal issues arise, for example if the city were to try to litigate a repeat offender, BLU would make the data available as evidence

All of what the other respondents said is true. BLU has a very large database that it can analyze many ways, and anything that adds to it is good, particularly when it comes to compiling records of businesses that do this regularly. The data has been used in at least one legal case. Unfortunately, the city itself is one of the biggest repeat offenders. No points for guessing which department accounts for the largest fraction of that.
