Hundreds of post and ring stands are installed on City sidewalks and boulevards every year. Installation begins in the spring and continues into the fall. The stands are provided free of charge in response to requests received from businesses, residents and cyclists. The program is intended to provide public bicycle parking facilities at destinations that are regularly frequented by cyclists. Priority is given to locations where there are few suitable alternatives (parking meters, sign posts, etc.). Transportation Services staff perform site inspections at all requested locations.
