POLICYof the Division of Transportation page 2 of 2 Section F1.f2

Bicycle Racks On Private Property:

Bike parking area outline (required):Use paint or pavers to outline the footprint and

discourage intrusion of merchandise, motor

vehicles, etc, into the bike parking area.

Proximity to the entrance:

Required (Salt Lake City Code, Section

21A.44.040): Install racks in a visible, easy-to-

access location as close to the primary pedestrian

entrance as the nearest non-handicapped vehicle

parking space.

Recommended:

• Distribute racks to serve each pedestrian entrance

• Visible from within the building. Bike racks in

parking garages are recommended only if the

garage serves employees (not visitors) and is

staffed.

Covered bike racks (recommended):Install racks under an overhang or roof (pictured),

with a 7’ minimum overhead clearance. The roof

should cover the entire bicycle area footprint.

Custom rack designs(considered on a case by case basis):

Racks must be approved by the Transportation Division in

advance, and:

• Support the bicycle frame at two contact points,

• Meet specifications for materials and diameter (see

reverse),

• Enable the frame and one wheel to be secured with a

U-lock.

Racks on public property (sidewalk, park strip, etc.):Must be approved by the SLC Transportation Division’s Design Section and City Property

Management. See Section F1.g1, “Rack Install on City Property”.
