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

Thank you
