A safe place to store a bike is essential if people are going to adopt the bicycle for everyday transportation. Bicycle theft is widespread, and leaving a bike out in the elements can increase wear and cause it to require more frequent maintenance.
But bicycle parking is much more space efficient, and ample, secure bike parking in a residential building or at a business incentivizes and normalizes active transportation.
The commission has proposed a change to require 0.5 long-term bike parking spots per unit in residential buildings. We think that's not enough, and recommend doubling that to one spot per unit.
In addition, the parking area needs outlets for e-bike charging.
