I know several people have talked to me about making sure that the new zoning code includes better information on bicycle parking. Actually, I think they are looking at changing the code for parking of all sorts.
Also, if you have language that you want me to forward, I can do so, although you can also send it directly to Rick Roll - contact info below. For instance, Matt Tucker - the Zoning Administrator, really wants clear language on the types of racks that can be used. Another area is getting clear guidelines inserted in the new code about needing visitor parking as well as resident/employee parking. Also, the code should be clear on the fact that a storage locker is not sufficient or appropriate bicycle parking for a residential unit. Obviously, many people on this list also have ideas of other areas that should be changed in the zoning code. Please speak up - preferably directly to the city staff that are putting this together, but I can forward information to them as well.
