In front of Intelligencia on Sunset and Santa Monica.

There are always plenty of bicycles there, and the existing rack is awkward, leaving little space on the sidewalk. The ideal would be to replace the first parking spot in front of the cafe with a corral, which would open the space up a bit.

Abbot Kinney Blvd!

Just visit this place any weekend: every possible sidewalk space that could possibly fit a standard LADOT U-rack already has one, and they are usually full, with many handlebars jutting out into the crowded sidewalks. I have lived and been bike-dependent in LA for over 2 years and cannot think of a better place in the City to put a bike corral. Make this happen, LADOT!

Please install them at the San Pedro Public Library…931 s. Gaffey Street. Many people young and old ride their bikes to the library every day but there are rickety, bent, and broken racks in front. Bikes get stolen all the time. They could really use these sturdier, safer, corrals. Thank you!

There is no place to park at the K-mart/Whole Foods shopping center at 3rd & Fairfax. Whole Foods has several unusable poles up against their patio. That’s it for bike parking. Cyclists have to tie up on the fence to the east, on the pole of disabled driver parking spaces, or down the block. Please find out who is in charge at that shopping center and pitch them this design. Personally, I would put the bike corral in the central courtyard area where the restaurant is.
