Student intern met with employees at Christopher Hall to make recommendations for new bike parking.
Submitted additional information about bike parking to the SSC, and were granted an award for $250,000 to revamp existing bike parking areas at various key locations throughout campus.
Campus Transportation Committee met and reviewed all bike related iCAP projects.
Bike sharing survey went live from the LINC course, as described above.
Staff met with employees at the Arboretum to make recommendations for new bike parking near the parking lot between the Idea Garden and the Japan House.
Staff met with Housing representatives to discuss a potential pilot trial of distributed bike parking enforcement. This would allow F&S to train and authorize certain key facility managers in proper procedures for impounding bikes parking improperly. Housing will draft a proposal in the next few months, then F&S will discuss the merits with appropriate campus representatives (such as Legal Counsel, the Parking Department, and Campus Planning) and determine how to proceed.
Sample Varsity Bike racks were provided for a one-year free trial to Champaign County Bikes. The Architecture Review Committee approved testing them at the east side of the Illini Union. The Union’s approval is pending an approval from SSC for the bike parking improvements at the southwest corner, with FY10 SSC funding.
