It's 100% lack of willpower. Any time a new initiative or project comes up, neighborhood associations or stores whine and the politicians get meek and fold.

Honestly just about anything else would have made this better. This was a non-solution. But officials around here have a massive boner for making bikers miserable and half-assing every public infrastructure project.

You're joking but it would probably help quite a lot. I don't understand why they left so much space between the dildo bollards. The white SUV in the picture clearly fits between them with tons of room to spare. If they had doubled the number of dildos cars would not be able to fit between them.

Or they could just like, not half ass the job and put up a proper curb or metal/concrete dildos.
