A really nice idea (I already knew from other cities) is a block of notes to be left as just a friendly reminder to motorists illegally parking their vehicles in bike lanes.
Do Not Park In Our Lanes!
Your vehicle is parked on a bike lane and/or footway! This is an offense against the road traffic regulations and can cause an administrative penalty up to € 726 and a towing with cost. In case of repeated disorderly parking you can reckon with a complaint.
I had this dialog with the nice lady in the town hall who was giving away the blocks.
Lady: How many would you like to have?
Me: Two or three, please.
The lady began to tear three sheets from a block.
Me: No, I mean three blocks?
Lady: But this' very much!
Then she gave me one block á 20 sheets.
Me: Thank you so much! This will do for a week!

In Dublin they just do not care,they Drive and Park on the Cycle Lanes and nobody Penalysises them at all. If you give off to them they mostly just show you the two Fingers. The Police do not bother Enforcing no Parking on Cycle Lanes. They would want to tighten up the Regulations as they keep saying they are going to improve things for Cyclists and Pedestrians.
We could use these notes in Chicago.
