| Chapter 3 | Bike Parking: Providing convenient, secure places to park is an inexpensive and effective way to encourage bicycling. This chapter identifies five objectives designed to increase the availability of short-term (less than two hours) and long-term (e.g., indoor) bike parking throughout Chicago. |
| Objective 2 | Install bike parking with new development and construction. |
Strategy 2 | Reinstall bike racks removed for sidewalk reconstruction. Reinstalling bike racks immediately after sidewalk reconstruction ensures that they are not discarded or stolen. |
| Peformance Measure | Require bike rack reinstallation as a condition of construction permits and arrange for this requirement to be enforced, beginning in 2006. |
| Tracker Notes | I don't believe this happens. Or if it does, it is rare. One time I personally locked a freestanding bike rack to a secured bike rack to prevent its theft, and until a crew could come reinstall the bike rack. Other times I have called the CDOT crew to come retrieve freestanding, unsecured bike racks. |
