It might depend on your location and the state of local government. I am a big proponent of taking civil action, but 1 complaint a day might be more effort than it’s worth.
At least in Toronto, Canada, resident cyclist complaints got some progress over 10 years:
First city council put in a line near the curb representing a bike lane, drivers ignored them and many parked in them.
Then they painted some of them green and enforced it a little better. Fewer parked but many drivers still ignored it and travelled on them.
Then they added thin bendable bollards to separate the bike lane and road. Due to shitty design, they got permanently flattened by garbage trucks making them appear like road debris.
Finally they replaced the bollards with a better design, added more reflectors on the road and added concrete blocks/a curb in a couple downtown areas which finally achieved separation.
It’s still kind of stressful for a cyclist to get around on the roads here, but improvements have been made, in part thanks to cyclist complaints. Don’t lose all hope!
