Public Hearing on the Bike Parking Ordinance Rescheduled for March 9th

Trees will be the real winners if City Council approves the Bicycle Parking Ordinance
Action Alert: Help get more bike racks in Pittsburgh and support a bike friendly Pittsburgh
We need you, the people that this will directly benefit, to show up in Council Chambers to show your support for this important ordinance.
Ever showed up to a shiny new building only to find no place to park your bicycle?
Of course you have!!
An important Bike Parking Ordinance unanimously passed the Planning Commission that will help create more and safer bike parking in the City of Pittsburgh. The ordinance requires new buildings to provide bike parking, something they already must do for cars. Many other bicycle-friendly cities already have this type of legislation in place.
It’s not law yet, it still needs to pass City Council and then get signed Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.
There will be a Public Hearing in Council Chambers to discuss the proposed Bike Parking Ordinance. The originally scheduled hearing was canceled due to inclement weather — new date is Tuesday March 9th. We need you to show up and show support for a bike-friendly Pittsburgh.
If you can’t make it, this is your last chance to show your support for this important legislation.
