Paul - thanks for the note. This issue was discussed with City Engineering as we don't generally want to have any city vehicles in the bike lane but find it necessary to water some trees. The water truck is supposed to mount the curb and leave room for cyclists to see and get by -- it maybe somewhat in the bike lane, but it should not be stopping and blocking the entire lane (please report if so). There are limitations to where the water truck can stop in a lane of traffic -- e.g., it cannot stop just past a stop sign or stoplight. We are nearing the end of watering season so this will not be an issue much longer. We will need to water one more year to establish the trees and then should be complete.

Tim, I'm not sure there is a solution, but I think they are referring to the water truck for the new trees.
