Grid bike racks are proposed for the Culver Lot and Wicks Park. A wave bike rack is proposed for Mason/Butler. Further details are attached. Staff is seeking Council approval to install the bike racks and apply for the necessary Historic District Commission approval. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Locations were previously reviewed with Parks and Public Works Committee and they were supportive. The Historic District Commission will also have to approve. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None anticipated. If needed, the current budget has dollars to cover the cost of concrete. The bike racks are being donated. LEGAL REVIEW: N/A at this time. SAMPLE MOTION: Motion to approve the installation of bike racks at the Culver Lot, corner of Mason/Butler, and Wicks Park and to authorize the City Manager to apply for necessary Historic District Commission approvals.
