There is no bike parking on Pratt Street, even though its our city's most dense street. Let's not add just one bike rack, but a whole stable of racks so that more people will want to bike to the shops and restaurants on Pratt. New Haven just added a bike corral, let's do it too. http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/bike_corral_debuts_downtown/

I agree and I was part of the group who recommended downtown bike rack locations and recommended them on Pratt.i I don't understand why they didn't go in.
narrow sidewalk seems like a poor excuse.

Pass the buck to City Council? I think that the Council has already signaled their support policy-wise of bike racks.
Isn't this something DPW can do administratively?

It was my understanding that there was a cmaq grant associated with crcog that came through in 08 or 09. I helped make a map of where to put them throughout the city. The racks aren't all up, so I'm assuming the grant wasn't fully spent.
Jennifer Cassidy would know more. I was more the map guy than the grant guy.

Several yrs ago the FTA provided a grant to install bike racks citywide. We purchased and installed over a 100 racks approx. throughout the city. Two types of racks were purchased for installation in sidewalks (concrete) and in parks (in ground). Mostly all the sidewalk ones have been installed. The remaining racks will be used for Tiger (IQuilt project) administered by Development Services. Tiger project runs along Bushnell park onto Asylum st And involves rdwy reconstruction.
We originally field checked locations for installation of racks and did not install any on Pratt because the sidewalk is made of brick pavers and installation would dislodge/break the pavers. That said, we did install racks adjacent to Pratt along Main & Trumbull.
