canal st bike lane- A joke? (chicago)

So I'm working today. Over in back of the buildings around madison/riverside on the canal st. bike lane. I'm just wondering who's joke it was to set up a bike lane (im talking about the one from like Jackson To washington with the following hazards/obstacles:

A) Several Loading Zones on the inside of the bike lanes where cars are allowed to park and pull in and out of

B) A taxi stand or two

C) Right turn lanes at the end of bus stops

D) mmmm potholes and manholes (killed my back rim on a huge pothole on state st. last night. huuuuuuge dent, had to replace. tire didnt blow for some reason)
and the kicker:

E) OPEN METAL VENT GRATES (just like the bridges) SPANNING THE ENTIRE BIKE LANE (Northbound) that vent the underground train stations.

oh and add in the lack of enforcement.
