You may have heard that the City recently installed over 360 bike racks in Oakland’s commercial districts, most to replace parking meters. What you may not know is that they still have a small amount of racks left and they’re looking for suggestions on where to install them.  Here’s your chance to ask for a bike rack in a much-needed spot!

Submit your bike rack location requests to the City using their online form. Note that racks can only be installed on a City-owned right-of-way (mostly sidewalks) in commercial districts and cannot be installed in AC Transit red zones, too close to light poles and other obstructions, etc. Check out the City’s rack placement guidelines (.pdf) here. Questions? Contact the City’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities Coordinator at (510) 238-3983 or email bikeped@oaklandnet.com.
