New Downtown Bike Racks Provide Balance of Function and Form

spotlight image

The City of Fort Collins' Transportation Planning Dept is pleased to present the 'On Street' Bike Parking Project for downtown Fort Collins. This is a joint project with New Belgium Brewing Company who has agreed to provide the funding for the fabrication and installation of the bike racks. Bruce Hendee & Associates (BHA Designs) designed the bike racks in conjunction with M&R Fabricators, both local Fort Collins businesses.

Bike rack installation locations:

  1. La Luz Mexican Restaurant (Walnut St.);
  2. Cafe Ardour (Linden St.);
  3. The Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. (Mountain Ave.);
  4. Trailhead Tavern (Mountain Ave);
  5. Muggs Coffee Shop (Olive St.).
  • Adds more overall bicycle parking in the downtown, specifically near businesses that attract a high level of customer/client bicyclists;
  • Mitigates sidewalk congestion and encourages improved pedestrian flow by eliminating obstacles on the sidewalk;
  • Encourages bicyclists to use access the downtown by riding on the streets rather than sidewalks;
