Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to obtain approval from City Council for the installation of a bike corral in the parking lay-by in front 205 Spadina Avenue.
A bike corral refers to bicycle parking installed on the roadway within on-street motor vehicle parking spaces. Transportation Services conducted a bike corral pilot project at 205 Spadina Avenue over the past two years in an effort to increase the bicycle parking supply along Spadina Avenue, between Phoebe Street and Sullivan Street. There is no more space on the sidewalk and boulevard area within this block to increase the number of bicycle parking spaces. The 16-space bike corral temporarily replaced two motor vehicle parking spaces from July to November 2010 and from June to November 2011. The bicycle racks were well used throughout the pilot project period. There have been no operational issues identified by staff or complaints by the public regarding the bike corral installation.
Based on the demonstrated demand for bicycle parking and the success of the bike corral installation over the past two years, Transportation Services is recommending the establishment of a seasonal bike corral to be installed annually in the parking lay-by in front of 205 Spadina Avenue. The 16-space bike corral, which would displace two motor vehicle parking spaces as per the pilot project, would be in effect from April 1 to November 30. The bike corral would be removed and the space converted to motor vehicle parking during the winter season to facilitate winter maintenance operations. The bike corral will result in a reduction of Toronto Parking Authority revenue in the order of $8,500 per year.
