Action Alert: Hearing Tomorrow on Bike Parking Zoning Amendment

5:07 PM EDT on March 30, 2009

Tomorrow morning the City Council Zoning Subcommittee will hold a public hearing on a proposed zoning amendment to require bike parking in new construction (not to be confused with the Bikes in Buildings Bill, which would improve access to existing workplaces). The hearing will be held at 9:30 at 250 Broadway, between Park Place and Murray Street, in the 16th Floor conference room.

Check our calendar listing for more details and talking points, and see our post from earlier this month for background.

As regular readers and riders know, lack of adequate parking is one of the greatest obstacles to bike commuting. If you can spare the time to testify on this critical issue, this is a good opportunity.
