Although I've repeated the above mantra many times, a picture is worth a thousand words.Burlington replaced 2 parking spots in the Locust Street garage with 33 bike racks. You've read that correctly. 33 bikes can be parked in space previously reserved for 2 cars!
In a case of having our cake and eating it too, the bike racks were funded by Metrolinx, the Ontario government body that looks after GO. Imagine! Imagine the space and $$$ we'd save at the GO stations if more people felt safe enough to bike to GO rather than drive. Imagine the # of fewer cars on city roads.
Check out the video monitored bike racks at the Locust St. parking garage. Next time, ride your bike downtown.
