What are Bike Corrals?
A Bike Corral is an on-street bicycle parking facility that can accommodate many more bicycles than a typical sidewalk rack. Bike corrals typically take up an existing single-vehicle parking space and replace it with up to eight bicycle racks – enough space for 16 bicycles! These facilities make more efficient use of a vehicle parking lane in areas with high cycling demands. They are especially useful in areas with narrow sidewalks where it would be impractical to install a sidewalk rack.

Bike Corral’s also have the added benefit of providing a constant buffer between the sidewalk and on-street traffic, while simultaneously improving sight lines for drivers, and creating greater visibility for local businesses within their vicinity. If you are the owner of a local business who would be interested in having a Bike Corral outside your establishment, please fill out this form and we will be in contact with you shortly.

Hi! Are motorcycles allowed to park in bike corrals? I’ve seen them on a few occasions in the bike corral in Highland Park but wonder if this is actually allowed.
