At their regular meeting on October 15th, Council gave second, third reading and adoption to the proposed amendments to the Bike Parking Requirements for New Developments that are now in effect.  

Staff recommended amendments to the Zoning Bylaw to reflect new trends in bicycle technology including electrification and larger cargo bikes as outlined below:  

• A minimum of five percent (5%) of the required long-term bicycle parking spaces must be oversized to accommodate larger, non-standard bicycles such as e-bikes and cargo-bikes.  

• Provide unobstructed access to electrical outlet(s) in a long-term secure parking facility for charging of e-mobility devices. 

Additional information can be found in the  full report by City staff.
