Good morning,
I see an issue on Page 10, on the line that starts with (e) making reference to Table 1365.01(Q)(3). The word Table is a typo in that sentence, and will be deleted,
to be read as follows:
(e) Short-term bicycle storage space designs must adhere to the design standards in 1365.04(Q)(3): Bicycle Rack Requirements
Sorry about that, and I will make sure to reference this change at tonight’s meeting.
The design standards as shown on Pages 10 and 11, are as follows:
(a) Racks shall conform to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for protrusions in the right-of-way including the ability to detect the rack with a white cane. To be detected by a white cane the protruding or leading edge of the rack shall be 27"
or less above the sidewalk surface. Between 27" and 80" above the sidewalk surface, protruding or leading edges may overhang a maximum of 12".
(b) The top of the bicycle rack design shall be a minimum of 36" tall. Except for the bicycle rack supporting brackets, the shortest section of the bicycle rack must be a minimum of 27" tall - enough to be perceived by pedestrians and avoid tripping hazards.
(c) The space between rack features shall be larger than 9" and smaller than 3.5" to avoid children trapping their heads.
(d) The design shall not include sharp edges.
(e) Areas having more than one row of racks shall be separated by aisles. An aisle is measured from tip to tip of the bicycle spaces between racks. The minimum separation between aisles should be at a minimum 48" or conform to sidewalk width requirements
of the underlying zoning district.
(f) Racks near walls should be placed so that the rack’s two bicycle connection points are perpendicular to such wall and should not be placed near property corners. Racks placed near walls shall maintain a minimum separation between the edge of the bicycle
parking space at a minimum of 48" or conform to sidewalk width requirements of the underlying zoning district.
(g) Racks placed near curbs shall maintain a minimum separation between the edge of the parking space at a minimum of 48" or conform to sidewalk width requirements of the underlying zoning district.
(h) Racks should allow either front-in parking (U-lock should be able to lock the front wheel and the down tube of an upright bicycle) or back in parking (U-lock should be able to lock the rear wheel and seat
tube of the bicycle).
(i) Racks should have protective coatings designed to protect bicycle frames from scratching and damage.
(j) Racks should be able to resist being cut or detached using common hand tools, such as bolt cutters, pipe cutters, wrenches, and pry bars.
I will send out another draft at 4:00 P.M and print off copies for review at tonight’s meeting.
Thanks!
John Whitmore
