Other: Hi - I am one of the owners of Friendly Beasts Cider writing regarding our new location at 615 N Fairview St. I am wondering if it would be possible to get a new bike rack put it at the intersection of Fairview and the B-Line trail. I don't think there's a bike rack at Rogers St., so it would be the only bike rack between Adams and 8th St. on the B-Line (I think!). Cicada Cinema is also moving into the same building, so there will be a lot more people coming to that area. It is also right by the walking path from the B-Line to Butler Park. I noticed there appears to be lot of room on the east side of the intersection of Fairview and the B-Line where a bike rack could go. Thanks for your consideration, let me know if I can provide any other information that might be helpful or if there is a specific department I should reach out to. Thanks!!

Hi Toby, Thanks for sending this along. I am very supportive of bike racks here, I think it makes a lot of sense for customers of these businesses. Many of the new bike racks in the City of Bloomington are required by "Full Compliance" or "Limited Compliance" with the Unified Development Ordinance when new commercial or multifamily buildings are built, expanded, or change uses. The proposed Trades District hotel and Greystar multifamily on Rogers and the BLine are examples. The tenant change at this location does not meet the threshold to require the business install their bike racks on private property, but that may be the simplest and easiest solution. There is parking for 20 bikes at the Trades Dist Garage facing the BLine near Rogers. These are not the most convenient for your location though. The Parks Dept might possibly have an interest in installing some racks in the ROW but I cannot speak for them- a good Parks contact might be Rebecca Swift [email protected]. All the best, David Brantez Alternative Transportation Coordinator [email protected]
