NYC May Implement Bicycle Parking Laws
New York City, which has been working hard to promote cycling of late, has now proposed "bicycle parking rules that could be among the toughest in the nation, requiring one secure bike parking space for every two units in new apartment buildings and one space for every 7,500 square feet in new office buildings."

I'll believe it when I see it; also, it's critical that this apply to existing as well as new construction, or it means practically nothing.

Usually, if well written, these types of ordinances require two types of bike parking, short-term w/in X distance from the building entrance for customers, and more secure long-term bike parking for employees, typically inside the building's 'structured' parking areas, in a designated storeroom of some type or outside the building with enhanced security features.

A step in the right direction for NYC.

I believe Vancouver BC has exemplary bike parking requirements in its building codes.
Seattle is SLOWLY going onboard with replacing some on street auto parking with bike parking racks. a long uphill process but one destined to grow here IMO. |

our bldg changed managment companies a while back and I now have to go in though the service entrance, but they've been pretty good about setting up bike racks in empty spaces and even have pumps chained to them. |
