Bollards as a half-measure -- daylighting buffer installed but parking box authorizes parking up to it

Two white sightline bollards installed at the 1001 4th St SW corner, but the parking-box striping ends flush with the bollards -- a parked vehicle sits right up to the daylighting buffer with no setback from the crosswalk.

01What is wrong here

Two white sightline bollards have been installed at the 1001 4th St SW corner, which shows DDOT recognizes this intersection needs daylighting treatment. But the parking-box striping ends flush with the bollards -- so vehicles legally park right up to the daylighting buffer with no setback from the crosswalk. The bollards become decorative. Repaint the box back to the 40-foot intersection setback under 18 DCMR 2405.2(c) and add pylons in the daylighting zone.
