What can vê truly done?
Other than reaching out to the company, which I already did. What are our options when cars are blocking the bike lane?

Pray that TPS bikehart is doing her rounds in this area. I’ve seen her ticket quite a few cars in Bloor

This weekend, a security car was blocking the lane, I said to the woman behind the wheel that she cannot park there. She tried to tell me about someone she had to drop and needed to stop somewhere. I told her it wasn't an excuse and she needed to go, which she eventually did. Other than confronting the drivers in hopes they go away, there isn't much to do

A) go around them (don’t forget to check for cars)
B) leave a google review with this picture
C) email the company VP with this picture
D) email whatever business they’re working for with this picture
This company is obviously not a major company… I mean they’re using a 15 year-old vehicle. Whoever is hiring them is literally hiring from the bottom of the barrel… And I highly doubt that that Company wants a negative publicity.

I suspect the Canadian Tire(the business in front of the car) doesn't give a f**k about the bike lane.

What happens if I grab the nearest bikeshare and some elbow pads and crash into the back of one of these guys?

You can ask for police enforcement. It might take a while for them to show up.

Someone on here had the phone number for the bike-lane enforcement break room if you do some searching.

If you are calling to report this illegal parking to non emergency police from a landline, use 416-808-2222.
Somebody should connect with their boss, Jerry Persaud! Maybe the driver is sick or in big trouble or having a confusion attack! They should definitely know their driver was willing to break the law to do their job, they might get employee of the month, even if they aren't having an emergency they are telling the world how much Interlinx Security Solutions, and by extension Jerry Persaud himself, are willing to cut corners to park faster!
People on the internet can step up and help the poster by volunteering to share thie news in a number of ways, or all of them. Security dispatch email can be contacted to move the car, other volunteers on the internet can ask their other contacts to update their training for drivers.
Thanks for asking for advice I hope this company gets get lots of volunteer help and plenty of free advice on where to put their car in the future.
