Yeah, that kind of lane sucks. Cities need to face it - the bike lanes need dedicated space designed in when building or upgrading a road, or you need to remove parking spaces entirely. My city (in Australia) has been doing a lot of both recently. In the inner city, nobody misses the loss of street parking up one side of major thoroughfares (you can fit a bike lane with both directions in the space on one side of the road) - it was extremely unlikely to get a park so you usually had to pay to park in an underground/multi-storey car park anyway. Removing the parking means you can have a properly separated lane (they have plastic bumper things in like 30 cm separated double lines, painted green so it’s obvious what it is and that you can’t legally pull into it or park over it) and it’s great. They’ve even put push buttons to signal you’re there for the traffic lights.
