It is not only making safe the bike of the owner but encouraging others to use bike instead of driving a car. It contribute a huge in green living. Our country must copy this idea to.

Our intent is to replace the facility at Woodlawn Ave NE with a Dero rack as well, but we have a few more steps to go through before the change can be confirmed. Happy parking! Anne,

I'll mail my bike parking requests to the address you posted. Definitely looking forward to more on-street bike parking around the city! I love the corral in front of Stumptown on 12th. Is the new parking going to be similar to the corral on 12th? Or is it going to look like the eyesores on Broadway and in Greenlake? I blogged about the parking back in March: http://carfreedays.com/2009/03/26/tour-de-seattles-on-street-bike-parking/ I'm still wondering if those corrals are temporary. Are the car-shaped corrals still being made for those 2 locations? And I second Ellen, the U district farmers market could probably use multiple on-street corrals - most people usually just give up and bring their bikes inside the fence on market day. Great news!

When heading to a game, my friends and I try and lock up a few blocks north along 1st, 2nd, or 3rd---to save our rides from the drunken mob departing the stadiums---but racks are few and far between, and often full on game days.

Pike Market... In general, having bike parking on the street is much nicer for pedestrians and bikers. And, concentrating the bike parking "lot" outside a popular outdoor spot is more secure (or is it, I wonder?). Encourages walking and biking, no? Thanks, SDOT.
