The 20 dollar fix: 2 bollards near intersections to stop people from parking where they force bikes to swerved in front of distracted drivers and block pedestrians from the view of drivers.

    You mean some paint on the ground isn't enough to protect a human from a 2 ton hunk of metal on wheels driven by an idiot that's not paying attention?

    $20 for the bollards, then add $500 an hour for the one union employee and $1,000 per hour for the one union supervisor to watch the one union employee.

    Figure this was a 30 minute job that they charged 8 hours for too.
