This is right outside my office, and indeed the cyclist who died was basically right outside my window. I did not read the story you posted, but I have been involved in Improving cycling and walking infrastructure in the area. It is a horrible intersection. The immediately perpendicular road was recently repaved, with a separated lane and bollards/pylons (may be the one in the picture) - it is MUCH better than a painted lane, so far the pylons have remained in place, and as someone who as cycled it, it's awesome.

They are protesting on a very wide roadway, also recently repaved. It is, I believe, controlled by the state not the city. They should redo it the same way, it can be easily accommodated. It is not actually weird advocates IMO, it's a really good example of community organizing, with a lot of involvement by people im the health/public health professions as this abuts our major medical area.

Also to be clear no cars park on the roadway in question.
