so i was heading east along queen street today and i noticed a number of hydro-type trucks doing work at several spots along the way. each of them had the requisite cop and pylons. however, the pylons were placed in the space between the truck and tracks. i'm sure you've all encountered the same thing, and whereas you can get by, it could be improved by only moving them a few inches.

so here comes me. just before i have to turn south i see a cop standing around, so i approach him and say "i noticed that there are a bunch of hydro trucks doing work along queen, so i was wondering if there was any way they could be moved over a little bit to make it safer for cyclists?" his response: "no".

i guess i could have wasted more breath, but i just shook my head and went to lock up. i wonder if he was haunted by the sight of my bike afterwards? i know, i know... no
