Amen. Roland Avenue in Baltimore went from a roadway---de facto bike lane/door zone---car parking arrangement to roadway---car parking lane---bike lane/gutter (with no buffer zone between the driver's side of the car and the roadway, so that drivers usually parked halfway into the bike lane) to, finally, painting a wide, clearly marked bike lane between the roadway and a parking lane next to the curb.
Apparently each municipality has to go through its own fumbling attempts at mediating between bikes and cars independently of all the others.
