The owners of cars parked in bicycle and bus lanes downtown could get a ticket in the mail if a city camera snaps the infraction, as part of a pilot program one step away from approval.

“Rafi Cardenas should be alive today,” said Ald. Daniel La Spata . “Sam Bell should be alive today. What we are doing today will help keep more people safe.”

Ald. David Moore said he would oppose that, saying the solution to traffic deaths was not “one size fits all.” A separate effort would use digital license plate readers to enforce parking restrictions in loading zones downtown, and prevent drivers from parking in the spots too long – or without authorization, officials said.

City law also requires signs to be posted if a bicycle lane must be closed to allow permitted work to take place warning bicyclists about the closure and telling drivers they must yield to those on two wheels.
