Well – without a doubt – AT was the IDEAL form of transportation last night!
From my observations:
Bike Valet:
- Was in a temporary location due to construction / set up challenges.
- I estimate between 250-300 bikes ‘checked in’ to Valet when I stopped by
- There was a bit of a line up – that moved fast
- It was almost at capacity at 6:30
Permanent Bike Parking:
- There are ~ 400 permanent bike ‘U’s in clusters surrounding the entire building
- Every ‘U’ had at least 2 bikes locked up – in every cluster ~ 800 bikes
-
Railings / Fencing:
- Tons of bikes were locked to railings and fencing - as the Bike Valet and U’s were full.
- ~ ? 400
. . . and at one point – in early discussions – many thought 300 bike parking spots were too many!
Huge kudos to Liz Peters (CAA) who biked 12km and checked in at the Valet – am sure she was home before the drivers or transit riders were!
IMPROVEMENTS:
I noted a few things AT related that could be improved on
– IF you attended and have any SUGGESTIONS for AT improvements
