A Bike Rack Location on Public Property.
Public property includes sidewalks and park, among other locations. Staff will evaluate the site for placement,
and space and other constraints permitting, will arrange for installation of a rack in during the next available round of installations.
As part of an ongoing effort to encourage bicycling and walking, the City has installed hundreds of post-and-ring bicycle racks all over the city:

Bicycle Parking on the Public Way
The City regulates on the public way. For these purposes, the public way primarily means city sidewalks, but also includes public plazas and parks. The principal intent of these regulations is two-fold: first, to try to ensure that short-term parking for bicyclists is available in the commercial districts, and second, to ensure that bicycles are parked in a safe and secure manner.
