    SECURE BICYCLE PARKING: Downtown Toronto Office Buildings By Adam Sweanor Trent University BBA (2012) A MRP Presented to Ryerson University In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Planning In the Program of Urban Development Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2015 ©Adam Sweanor 2015 DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP.

This increase in the cycling modal share, and a public policy environment that wishes to facilitate additional cycling, has in turn caused an increase in demand for associated facilities including secure bicycle parking. This paper examines the current provision of secure bicycle parking in downtown Toronto office towers and formulates a best practices standard to inform and encourage a more widespread adoption for a diverse range of office building size, location, and construction date. Many office buildings in downtown Toronto were built prior to the creation of zoning for bicycle parking, thus this paper focuses its recommendations on the implementation of future secure bicycle parking in the downtown core.
