Hello AT Network:

Thought I'd pass along information on new bike parking requirements in Calgary and a bike parking handbook that was prepared in 2002. According to my contact with the City of Calgary, the proposed bylaw from 2002 described in the handbook was never officially adopted but their Transportation department refers to it heavily when making recommendings on new development permit applications and developers have generally been following the recommendations in it.

He also noted that Calgary's new "Land Use bylaw incorporates bicycle parking as described in the Bicycle Parking Handbook. Unfortunately there are no easy-to-follow tables of bike parking requirements within the new Bylaw. However, bicycle parking requirements can be looked up for various uses within it."
