BICYCLE RACKS

Request a bicycle rack for a sidewalk. Please include address, cross street, contact person and phone number or e-mail address for confirmation.

See the table below for the survey schedule, with installation typically occurring within six weeks. To find out which neighborhood your request is located please go to http://ec2-50-17-237-182.compute-1.amazonaws.com/PIM/.

The SFMTA currently surveys all requests for bicycle racks in neighborhoods in alphabetical order. If a neighborhood does not have a significant amount of requests then it will be added to the last list (following the Western Addition neighborhood) which is List 28 in the table below. Please check back to this webpage for updates.

Bicycle Rack Placement Guidelines - View the guidelines for placing bicycle racks on sidewalks.

In June 2009, The Board of Supervisors amended Sections 155(j), 155.1, 155.4 and 155.5 of the Planning Code regulating required bicycle parking facilities and off-street car parking for City-owned and leased facilities, new and renovated commercial land uses and residential uses with 2 or more dwelling units.   See a summary of the changes in this document.

BIKE CORRALS (25 COMPLETED)

To request a bike corral, complete and return the SFMTA On-Street Bicycle Parking Corral Application (PDF). On-street bicycle parking corrals are bicycle racks placed in the parking lane on the roadway where demand for bike parking is higher than can be accommodated on the sidewalk. Approximately 8-12 bikes can be parked in one car space, making bike corrals a comparatively efficient use of roadway space.
