Because street sweeping will not be <br />able to clean the bicycle corrals, the city and businesses, property owners, or neighborhood <br />associations should come to a maintenance agreement to ensure corrals are well maintained. <br />Bicycle corrals should be placed in dense commercial areas, ideally near street corners of main <br />streets. Placing bicycle corrals on street corners makes them more visible and accessible to <br />cyclists. Corrals without bicycle racks are best used for shared micromobility systems where each <br />device is equipped with GPS. Devices in these corrals do not need to be individually locked. <br /> <br />Table 4 – Bicycle Corrals Performance Criteria <br />CONVENIENCE <br />• Corrals should be located as close as possible to entrances of high-demand <br />locations <br />• Preferably placed on main streets at street corners <br />SECURITY <br />• Using racks that are bolted, instead of welded, to a steel rail in clusters of three <br />or four allows for the replacement of individual racks when damaged. <br />• Alternatively, racks can be anchored to the ground. <br />BICYCLE <br />ORIENTATION <br />• Angling racks 60 degrees provides a greater buffer between moving traffic and <br />the bicycle’s rear wheel but requires a minimum of 36” between adjacent rack <br />footings <br />• Racks perpendicular to the curb accommodate slightly more racks but reduce <br />the buffer between moving traffic and the bicycle’s rear wheel <br />• To accommodate trailers or cargo bicycles, consider orienting racks parallel to <br />the curb with additional 12”–24” clearances at both ends of the rack <br />CYCLIST ACCESS <br />AND SAFETY <br />• Areas with low roadway speeds, low truck and bus traffic, and low parking <br />turnover are preferred <br />• A 5’ wide maneuvering zone on either end of the parking area provides a safe <br />dismount area <br /> <br /> Figure 12: Galvanized Finish <br />(APBP) <br />Figure 13: Stainless Steel Finish <br />(APBP) <br />Figure 14: Powder Coat <br />(APBP) <br />7.A. - Page 90 of 121 <br />96
