| Bike Corrals Installed Downtown |
| Every year Community Cycles organizes a Walk & Bike Month event called Park(ing) Spaces Day. Park(ing) Space Day parks raise awareness of the trade-off between space for cars vs. space for humans. If we shift our resources toward improved mass transit and bicycling, how could we reclaim parking spaces? One answer is more bike parking, which is badly needed in downtown Boulder. By transforming one car space into a bike corral, eight bikes can be housed and sidewalks have been freed up for walking. Community Cycles worked with the merchant, the downtown parking district and GO Boulder to make this parking corral happen. A parking corral was also added outside of Trident bookshop on west Pearl, where similar bike parking problems exist. These corrals are pilot projects. If successful, we should see more. |
