(2) TCCS does not track who identified the need for individual bike racks and cannot provide detail on the number of installations in response to requests in ‘Fix My Street’ or other feedback.
(3) New bike rack locations are not identified solely by ACT Government staff.
(4) Fix My Street, The Bicycle Advisory Group (BAG) via community groups (such as Community Councils, Pedal Power and Vets Cycling) that participate in the BAG, Capital Works consultation processes and Community requests to government.
(5) TCCS promotes the use of Fix My Street on an ongoing basis.
(6) There have been improvements made to the Fix My Street website, however, there is not a specific category to request additional bike parking facilities such as bike racks. The ACT Government can consider an additional category for bike parking facilities in future improvements to Fix My Street.
(7) The average cost is approximately $1,000 per rack for supply and installation.
(8) The need for new bike racks is identified through community input (fix my street, information from community groups, Bicycle Advisory Group (BAG), community requests), by demand analyses (Bike & Ride Investigation and Light Rail Stage 1) or as a requirement of Capital Works public area refurbishment works projects.
Requests for bike racks from the community, whether through Fix my Street, community requests, community interest groups and BAG are assessed on a site by site basis.
The Municipal Infrastructure Standards are used to inform decision making, and usage of and demand for bicycle parking is also assessed for public transport services.
Through the TCCS annual Capital Works program consultation identifies provision and location for bike racks.
The consultation phase of Shopping Centre and Town Centre upgrades at Erindale, Weston and Gungahlin provided opportunity for the community to suggest the installation of bike racks which informed the decision to install new bike racks at these locations.
A demand analysis for bike parking was undertaken for Light Rail Stage 1 which identified the number of racks at each stop as indicated under Question 1.
Additionally, Transport Canberra City Services undertook a network-wide Bike & Ride Investigation. This Investigation identified works funded through the Look and Feel of the City stimulus package including Bike & Ride facilities at ANU/Barry Dr and the Well Station Dr Park & Ride. These facilities are not complete and are therefore not included in the above numbers.
