Additional Discussion – Rack Installation
Racks will be affixed to City sidewalks or other concrete pad location by the utilization of vandal-resistant hardware provided by the
installer and approved by the city.
Racks will be installed in locations as designated by the city. In most cases racks will be sited for installation in clusters for a significant
length of busy business districts.
Racks will be installed or removed in/from locations as designated by the city.
All bicycle racks shall be installed at locations approved by city staff. All installations shall conform to Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) requirements.
All bolt holes shall be clean of dust or any debris. The anchoring bolts should be driven vertically through the support plate into the
bolt holes until the bolt head is firmly seated against the support plate.
For pavement surfaces that are not level use washers to level the rack and support plate. Fill with non-shrinking grout after the bicycle
rack is mounted to the concrete.
Do not place bicycle rack over any pavement expansion or control joint. Bicycle rack shall be placed at least 3 inches away from any
expansion and or control joints in the cement.

center of the rack.
