Bike parking design standards
Summary
A proposal to ban worst-offender bike racks (schoolyard-style, wheelbenders) and require secure, usable short-term parking, plus indoor long-term bike storage in larger multifamily buildings. It would ride along with the city's zoning code update, though members want more evidence from cities La Crosse's size before committing.

Impact analysis
Staff research found indoor bike storage adds relatively little cost to multifamily projects, especially in larger buildings.
Residents who bike — especially apartment dwellers who currently have nowhere secure to store a bike.
Developers of small multifamily projects could face added costs, which is why a minimum unit threshold is being considered.
