I've seen people park in these curbed bike lanes too, completely blocking it off.

Seems like they need to fenced off. Would also prevent jaywalking so in general increase safety of pedestrians forcing them to cross only at intersections.

Great, now how are we going to force bicyclists to open red lights and stop signs?

ive also seen cyclists having to squeeze by, and are forced to offer up against the side of the blocking vehicle to avoid being hit, leaving pinstripes bumper to bumper.

Clamping is a useful deterrent there.
