In its continuing effort to promote alternative transportation and improve bicycle infrastructure, the City of San Diego has announced plans to install hundreds of bicycle racks in neighborhoods citywide. The City, which has already designated more than 50 bicycle racks for the downtown area as part of its comprehensive\u00a0Downtown Mobility Plan,\u00a0is also seeking input via local business improvement districts (BIDs) to provide recommendations for additional bike rack installation locations in the community. The proposed 50 downtown bike rack locations correspond with developing cycle tracks \u2013 also known as protected bike lanes \u2013 being installed to improve ease and safety of bicycle ridership downtown.
\nThe bicycle rack initiative, dubbed “BIDs to Bike Racks,” is a collaborative effort between the Mayor\u2019s Office and the City\u2019s Transportation and Storm Water and Economic Development departments, and impacts every\u00a0business improvement district\u00a0across the city. Collaborating directly with BIDs will help achieve the goal to place bike racks in strategic locations within each community that best serve cyclists.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0The addition of hundreds of new bike racks throughout the city will complement the improved and developing bicycle infrastructure and offer more places to safely secure bicycles.
\n\u00a0Cyclists interested in locating existing bike racks are encouraged to use the City\u2019s\u00a0interactive map, which allows for convenient ride planning. Increasing bicycle ridership is a key strategy of the City\u2019s\u00a0Climate Action Plan\u00a0to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
\n\u00a0The City of San Diego was recently named a “Bike Friendly Community” by\u00a0The League of American Bicyclists.
\n“We\u2019re building a more bike-friendly city every day and these new bicycle racks will encourage more folks to get around on two wheels instead of four,” said Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer. “As we continue to improve transportation options citywide, it\u2019s important to provide an orderly place for cyclists and casual riders to store their bikes so the public spaces in our neighborhoods are free from clutter.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
