A.6.4.<br />
Alternative Non-St<strong>and</strong>ard Racks (Art Racks, etc.)<br />
Design Summary<br />
Alternate parking devices may be approved by the <strong>City</strong>, but must<br />
meet the following criteria:<br />
• Support the bicycle frame at two points not only by the<br />
wheel<br />
• Accept a variety <strong>of</strong> bicycle sizes <strong>and</strong> styles including<br />
various types <strong>and</strong> sizes <strong>of</strong> frames, wheel sizes, <strong>and</strong> tire<br />
widths.<br />
• Allow for the use <strong>of</strong> a cable as well as a U-shaped lock<br />
• Allow for the frame <strong>and</strong> at least one wheel <strong>of</strong> the bicycle<br />
to be locked to the rack<br />
• Must be tall enough to be “seen” by pedestrians <strong>and</strong> the<br />
visually impaired yet not be monumental in comparison<br />
with the bicycles that will be parked at the device<br />
• Must be maintenance free or fabricated from materials<br />
which wear in an aesthetically pleasing manner<br />
• Must have simple rather than complex designs which<br />
allow the user to easily underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> utilize the rack.<br />
Moving parts are not acceptable or must be kept at a<br />
minimum<br />
• Must not require the user to lift the bicycle onto the<br />
parking device<br />
