Description
The bike lane here is not fully marked, and has not been in over a year. There should be a white line along the parked cars, to help vehicle operators not block the bike lane as pictured.
There are other spots up and down Hampshire St with similar omissions. Obviously with the cold weather painting or applying thermoplastic now is difficult but it would be great if this could be fixed as soon as the weather warms.
Ideally, this issue should be left open until it is resolved. If it must be closed some sort of other communications channel should be used to notify citizens about activities related to this issue.

Reopening for clarification.
On the rest of Hampshire St most (all?) of the driveways appear to have a solid white line on either side of the bike lane. In fact, nearly everywhere else I look I see white marking lines continuing past driveways, they're only stopped or dashed for bus stops or intersections. Are you sure that the markings at this location are correct?
If the markings are correct here as is (...and incorrect on the rest of Hampshire St?), would it be possible to put some sort of "No Parking" pavement markings down in front of the driveway? I see many Uber//Lyft/etc trying to use this space in the same way as pictured above and they generally obstruct the bike lane in the same way as well.
