Another picture of the UPS truck from the back, license plate fully visible.

One more picture, from about opposite 135 Hampshire St (one block closer towards Kendall Square), where this same UPS truck was completely double parked and blocking bikes & cars. Bonus, there was an Uber double parked across the street so no one could move!

After taking this picture is actually when I called CPD, then I walked my bike, while on the phone with CPD, one block away where the UPS Truck was parked in (sort of?) the handicapped spot.

There are so many violations of parking in bike lanes.
I think CPD should use the pictures we take of these cars and trucks blocking the lanes and ticket/fine the offenders. It's against the law, we are sending in pictures w/ license plates - USE this information and enforce the law!

This is a tough one - you take away 80 parking spots on Cambridge Street and then you expect people that used to use parking spaces or double park.... to do what?

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect.

Ian - that is disappointing that you were continuously transferred. The Units primarily responsible for roadway safety are the Traffic Unit within the Cambridge Police Department (617-349-4365) and the Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department (617-349-4700). We have a Business Liaison that works with the business community and have and will continue to share concerns such as these with them. UPS has previously been notified of resident concerns as it pertains to their parking.

Ms. Richards - the Cambridge Police does not mail citations based on photos submitted to the Department. It is due in part to a number of challenges. In order for the citation to be upheld if there were an appeal, we need to determine probable cause on the driver. The identification of a license plate and vehicle is a start, but a citation would be issued at the discretion of a responding officer if they were to observe and determine it to be appropriate to file a citation.

Thank you for letting me know.

Again, these violations are the symptom, need more thoughtful redesign than deciding to remove parking spaces and places to pull over to load/unload people/goods. Uber/lyft and for profit ventures (UPS, FedEx, Amazon last mile contractors) exacerbate the problem, you have more vehicle traffic and less accommodation.
