Project Description

The City of Fort Wayne's Bike Rack Program is part of a broader initiative to promote active transportation and support a more bicycle-friendly community. With over 400 bike racks installed throughout the city, the program enhances accessibility for cyclists, making it easier to commute, run errands, and explore local businesses.

Investing in bicycle infrastructure helps the community by boosting the local economy, improving safety, and encouraging healthier lifestyles. Well-placed bike racks and trails attract tourism and provide greater access to businesses, further strengthening Fort Wayne's commitment to sustainable and active transportation.

Any business owner that identifies a need for bicycle parking at their location
Location of installation will depend on right-of-way and or private property concrete availability.

Identify a suitable location, ensuring it's on concrete and offers unobstructed access for pedestrians and individuals with mobility aids.
Racks can be installed on the right-of-way sidewalk or on private property.

Each rack accommodates two bikes and is surface-mounted.
Racks must be spaced 2.5 to 3 feet apart from each other.
In cases where no right-of-way or concrete is available on private property, a concrete pad must be installed before rack delivery.
Racks should retain their factory appearance and remain unpainted or altered.
Visibility and accessibility from the public realm are essential criteria.
