    62 New Bike Racks Installed in Past Three Months

    Thanks in part to the massive feedback and suggestions submitted right here on Columbus Underground, the City of Columbus has managed to install 62 new bike racks in 24 locations around the city between July 24th and October 2nd.

    New locations include The South Campus Gateway, The Columbus Athletic Club, Studio 35, Cafe Corner, Cafe Apropos, The Surly Girl Saloon, Bodega, Claddah Irish Pub, Cornerstone Coffee, The One Columbus Building, Katzinger’s Delicatessen, The Short North White Castle, B1 Bike Shop, Metro Gym, Voluneers of America, Barcelona, The Columbus Museum of Art, Four Points Real Estate, Town Street Properties, Urban Spirits Cafe, The COTA stop at Henderson & High, the corner of 9th and Indianola Avenues, Zettler Hardware, and at the corner of Cherry & Lazelle.

    There are also 11 more racks pending at locations near Cafe Bourbon Street, The Chamber of Commerce, Cafe Brioso, and The Convention Center.

    More suggestions are still needed though, as the City continues this program into 2009. In order to make the process as smooth as possible, some additional information is being requested with suggestions:

    1. Business name and exact street address

    2. Property owner and/or biz managers name and contact info

    The city can install in the Right of Way in front of businesses and sometimes dense housing (such as large apartment or condo buildings), but helping commercial areas thrive is their top priority for the time being.

    You can post your suggestions directly here in the comments of this thread, or use 311 via phone or web to file a request. Thanks for all of the great suggestions! Keep them coming!
