98 ~ CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN <br />A bike corral in the spot of a couple parking stalls in a Class IV parking separated bike lane: <br />Telegraph Avenue - Oakland. <br />Bicycle parking is an integral part of any bikeway network. Without secure and <br />convenient bicycle parking, many cyclists will not choose to use their bicycle <br />for trips where stops are made. Currently, bicycle racks are provided by the <br />City, other public agencies, and by private landowners. More bicycle parking <br />is needed within the City, particularly at retail and employment centers, parks, <br />transit stops, and other locations that attract bicycle trips. To meet this need, <br />the following two programs are recommended. <br />CITY BICYCLE RACK PROGRAM <br />San Leandro's bicycle rack program provides the City with the means and <br />procedures for installing bicycle racks where they are needed. With this <br />program, the City installs a bicycle rack(s) within the public right-of-way at the <br />request of a community member. This could be a landowner, business owner, <br />resident, or employee. Once the request has been received, City staff visits <br />the requested location to determine if a bike rack can fit, contact adjacent <br />property owners to inform them of the intent to install a bicycle rack, and, <br />finally, install the bicycle rack. The program also provides technical support for <br />property owners wishing to install bicycle racks on private property as well as <br />serve as a clearinghouse for bicycle parking information. <br />BICYCLE PARKING ORDINANCE <br />The current San Leandro zoning ordinance regarding bicycle parking specifies <br />bicycle parking be provided at the rate of five percent of the requirement for <br />automobile parking spaces with commercial uses. it is recommended that <br />this requirement be revised as a stand-alone Bicycle Parking Ordinance and <br />expanded to include other land uses (i.e. multi-family residential) and to provide <br />more specific recommendation as to type of bicycle parking to be provided <br />(i.e. short-term or long-term) by land use. The ordinance may also include a <br />reduction in vehicle parking requirements with the installation of a certain <br />number/type of bicycle parking. More detailed discussion of the specifics for a <br />revised bicycle parking ordinance can be found in the San Leandro Bicycle and <br />Pedestrian Design Guidelines including a sample bicycle parking ordinance. <br />Bicycle Parking <br />236
