To suggest a rack location

In order to be considered for installation, the requested location for a rack must be:

  • Located on public property;
  • On a sidewalk with a minimum width of 6’ (with some exceptions for high traffic areas), to allow for compliance with American with Disabilities Act guidelines; and
  • Free from other sidewalk obstacles (such as bus stops, street furniture, fire hydrants, and other obstructions).

Please be advised that not all requested locations will be able to be accommodated. Racks are typically installed during the late spring and early summer.

Thank you for your help!
