  • Appendices December 2018
    Proposed Draft – Appendices December 2018 Appendix A - Bicycle Parking Code Update Project What We Heard Report Public Comments on the Discussion Draft December 2018 I. Introduction Project Background The update to the Bicycle Parking Chapter of Zoning Code (33.266.200) is focused on ensuring new development and major redevelopment provide adequate, accessible and convenient short- and long- term bicycle parking. Portland’s bicycle parking code hasn’t been updated in 20 years, yet the technology, design and the way people get around town have changed greatly. This project will update the standards to support the growth and continue to encourage people bicycling as a mode of transportation for all Portlanders. Why is this project important? • The Portland Bicycle Plan calls for bicycling to account for 25% of all trips by 2030. • Bicycle parking requirements have not kept pace with the growth in Portland population and ridership. • The majority of the Bicycle Parking Code has not been updated in 20 years. • Need to accommodate all types of bicycles and people of all abilities that ride bicycles. • Bicycle theft and security concerns are growing. • Portland supports bicycling as a low-cost, environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Notification Notification about the Discussion Draft and opportunities to comment occurred through several methods throughout the comment period. • Blog post emailed through GovDelivery, by PBOT • The Bicycle Parking Code Update Project website, hosted by PBOT • Posts by PBOT on Facebook and Twitter • Articles in local newspapers and online newspapers • Articles in local blog platforms (including BikePortland.org) II. Public engagement and comments received The public comment period of the Discussion Draft of the Bicycle Parking Code Update Project spanned from its release on August 14 through October 1, 2018.
