Introduction
Reason to Be Selected
Highlights:
Flexible using of car parking according the different park in time costs little but works well.Parking bikes in the drip line of trees can be more harmonious in the urban space when integrated under a leaf canopy thus utilizing the space under the trees while protecting the trees.Details
The initiatives presents five types of initiatives:
1) Bike parking in construction
At the bigger stations and in the medieval part of the city, traditional solutions at street level cannot adequately meet the need. The plan proposes to integrate bicycle parking facilities in the urban space to ensure urban life.
2) Conversion of bike parking into bicycle parking and flex parking
One car parking space can be converted to 8-12 bicycle parking spaces. Converting car parking to bicycle parking is therefore a relevant solution to places with little space on the pavements as it is the most cost-effective way to create sufficient bicycle parking capacity.
3) Traditional bike parking
At locations with the biggest need for bicycle parking, the City of Copenhagen has often already placed as many traditional stands as possible in the given urban spaces. However, the stands will continue to play a role in places in the city where there is space.
4) Capacity optimization
In order to optimize the existing capacity, there is a need to guide the cyclists to available stands and to appropriate parking. Furthermore, removing abandoned bikes and moving improperly parked bikes can make valuable space available for other purposes.
5) Development of new types of parking facilities
In 2016 and 2017, the City of Copenhagen has been prototyping bike stands, including vertical and multi functional stands as well as stands for cargo bikes.The City of Copenhagen is seeing a potential for developing stands that can be placed in the drip line of trees without destroying the roots of the trees.
