Business Bike Rack program
We are making it easy for you to ensure bike parking is an option for your customers and visitors.
The District has a limited stock of public bike racks available to eligible businesses and organizations at no cost. Not only that, but municipal staff will take care of installation if on public property! A business/organization also has the option to request a rack for installation in a suitable location on private property, as long as the rack is available publicly; in this case, installation and maintenance of the rack would be the responsibility of the property owner.
