This is why there's a drop off spot.

The driveway and loop your mention are strict no-parking zones. There is no close and cheap parking other than the spots eliminated for a bike lane. So we have gone from spots to try and accommodate cancer patients who need to be accompanied by family members who could park for $4 a visit to jacking their out of pocket cost to $20 a visit all to accommodate some bikes. Never mind that you went from like a 60 second walk to a 5+ minute walk. Nicely done. /s'
Further, the bike lane could have been moved one block north to William and not had the same negative impact. It is an incredible poor choice of location.
