Councillor Pete Fry wants more of the old single\u002Dspace parking posts left in place for locking bikes
, Fry said the city was transitioning to digital multi-space parking meters that could not be used to secure a bike.
“Parking meters have served as ubiquitous and useful ad hoc cycling infrastructure in the form of a durable street furniture that is usually well located and in clear view of shopping and community destination,” Fry wrote in the motion. There are 2,422 public bike racks installed on city property and a recognized lack of bike parking infrastructure, Fry said.Article content
Fry wrote that the city would retrofit 2,000 of the old parking meters with ring racks — leaving the post in place — and that the old meterheads and remaining posts would be recycled or donated to other municipalities.
