City of Oxnard | Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan A.6.3. Bicycle Parking at Bus Stops Discussion Siting bike parking near a bus shelter is dependent upon the existing city right-of-way and sidewalk width. Bike parking options include installing racks near the shelter or incorporating covered bike parking within the shelter structure. The most important element to consider is maintaining a clear pathway from the shelter to the bus for universal access. It is also important to avoid blocking areas where riders queue to board the bus. Although standard site furnishing suppliers do not readily stock shelters incorporating covered bike parking, a few simple modifications to the standard design could be accommodated by most manufacturers. Guidance • APBP Bicycle Parking Guidelines Existing Bus Shelter on C Street Covered Bicycle Parking Behind Bus Shelter • A bicycle rack installed behind the shelter would be applicable to areas with a wide right-of-way or sidewalk width. A standard bus shelter could be modified to include a cantilevered roof over the bike parking. If this configuration is used, the design and layout of the bus shelter and surrounding street furniture should allow for a clear view of parked bicycles from all sides.

Appendix A | Design Guidelines Covered Bicycle Parking Parallel to Bus Shelter A bicycle rack installed next to the shelter with a parallel orientation will minimize conflicts with pedestrians on the sidewalk. This would be a good configuration where the sidewalk is narrow. A standard bus shelter could be modified to include a cantilevered roof over the bike parking. Covered Bicycle Parking Perpendicular to Bus Shelter A bicycle rack installed next to the shelter with a perpendicular orientation will need to be set back to prevent bikes from encroaching into the pedestrian zone of the sidewalk. This configuration would accommodate multiple racks for bus stops that serve a large number of boardings. A roof over the bike parking would provide protection for the bikes.
