I don't have an issue with emergency vehicles, when they are responding to an emergency, being in areas that they would not otherwise be allowed to be. Delivery drivers are not comparable to something like an ambulance, and don't have special privileges unless those privileges are otherwise explicitly outlined.
A delivery driver using the bike lane should be viewed the same as if they parked on the sidewalk. If the delivery driver is going to be breaking the law anyway, they should just pop on their emergency lights and block the road, they would at least be blocking the correct mode of traffic.
I agree and have often said the same thing! If you're going to park illegally, inconvenience drivers, don't ENDANGER vulnerable users!
