23 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Table 5 – Bicycle Locker Performance Criteria <br />CONVENIENCE • Lockers should be visible from but outside of the pedestrian travel path <br />ORIENTATION • Lockers can be linear, stacked, or in a circle <br />SECURITY <br />• Security of the system depends on the security of the wall panels, door, <br />frame, and locking mechanism <br />• Fully encloses bicycle (avoid panel joints) <br />• Weather protection (avoid using plastic materials) <br />• Securely anchored to the ground with an attached floor. <br />• High-quality locker door mechanisms that insert two or more tabs into the <br />internal frame to protect against prying <br />USER- <br />ACCESS/PROTECTION <br />• Limited access for users only <br />• The door should open at least 90 degrees to allow easy loading/unloading <br />• Directions for use and how to sign up for lockers should be posted near <br />lockers <br />• Stacked lockers should have a wheel track to assist in lifting the bicycle into <br />the top locker <br />• Consider using lockers with semi-transparent panels <br />• An integral smart locking mechanism is recommended because it uses a <br />digital smart lock, which enables flexible usage and on-demand reservations <br />• Allows users to determine locker availability and make reservations <br />before they begin their trip <br />• Can be operated with magnetic-stipe cards, proximity cards, fobs, or <br />smartphone Apps <br />• Enough clearance around lockers to allow for simultaneous users <br />• Most lockers will not accommodate extended-framed bicycles like cargo <br />bicycles. <br />• Plastic lockers are vulnerable to fire <br />VISIBILITY <br />• Clearly labeled as bicycle parking <br />• Lockers should not obstruct pedestrian traffic flows, but they should be <br />visible to the public <br />MANAGEMENT <br />• A bicycle parking manager or vendor is required to assign, inspect, and clean <br />lockers. <br />• A locker management program should include policies that do not allow <br />inappropriate storage, reserve the staff’s right to inspect contents without <br />notice and dispose of inappropriate items in a specific manner. Requiring <br />positive identification, a deposit, or a nominal charge against a credit card <br />can deter unwanted use. <br />• Avoid using door panels attached to a single-iron or U-channel frame as they <br />may result in door sag <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7.A. - Page 95 of 121 <br />101
