Eau Claire city officials consider ordinance requiring bike racks

Bike racks would be required as part of the parking plans for new buildings in Eau Claire, under an ordinance proposed by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission.

As detailed in the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram, the committee will consider a standard of one bike spot per every 10 vehicle parking stalls for multifamily housing, rooming houses, commercial and industrial businesses, schools and hospitals.

Similar policies are in place in Madison, La Crosse and Minneapolis.
