The city will add dozens of new bike racks over the coming months to prevent bike theft and reduce sidewalk clutter.
The city of Jacksonville is installing more bike racks in an effort to prevent bike theft and blocked sidewalks.
According to a report by ActionNewsJax.com News Staff, “The initiative, called JaxRAX, installs sturdy metal bike racks in public spaces and outside local businesses.” The city has installed roughly two dozen new racks and plans to add more each month.
Local businesses and residents can request bike racks in areas they are needed. The article notes that “City code requires that new developments install bike racks, just as they require vehicle parking, but some businesses/locations have been “grandfathered-in” years ago and don’t have any bike parking, so this program can help those retailers.”
