In reply to Jo. Do you mean within the actual BNZ centre Jo, or on an adjacent road? There are some bike stands really near the laneway to Scorpio from Hereford St, which is why I'm curious

Victoria Street will get more parking as part of the updated works. The council went with a blue-on-grey colour scheme here, so it’s much easier to read. https://ccc.govt.nz/assets/Documents/Consultation/2019/08-August/Victoria-Street-preferred-plan-for-approval-Optimized.pdf

Victoria Street – there are lots of cafes along there to visit but a lack of bike parks if you want to cycle there.

The south side of Moorhouse Ave between Durham St and Selwyn St. There are shops and cafes all the way along that part of the street, but barely any bike parks. Possibly more of an issue for the shop/land owners to sort out, but it’d be very handy if the council did put a bike park or two along that part of Moorhouse.

Great work with the extra bike parks in North Hagley!

This is not the bestest plan there ever was, but if you can find the grey on grey for the cycle stands, you can see that cycle stands are planned as part of the Hereford St upgrade right opposite the entrance to the BNZ centre, as well as the corner of Oxford St/Hereford St and Colombo/Hereford St. https://ccc.govt.nz/assets/Documents/Consultation/2019/01-January/Hereford-Street-Hearings-Panel-Report.pdf

The shopping area where Scorpio books is could do with some bike parking

North of the Town Hall on Colombo seems to be a bit of a desert for bike parking. I always have to use a signpost.

In reply to Criggie. I think seeing 8 bikes parked in a space otherwise taken up by one car will at least lead some people capable of rational thought to second-guess the spatial efficiency of low-occupancy vehicles. Other than that, a hard +1 for Pomeroys. Welles Street is also not just an overall traffic disaster with too many cars on it, but also sorely lacking in bike parking.

I think reallocating any car parks just adds fuel to the anti-bike sentiment.

Perhaps the parking needs to squeeze into the kind of places we’d already park a bike, like on the pedestrian space, though not in the footpath-way.

What about Gap-Filler-esque bike parking, on otherwise dead property? Something like Wilson’s carparking, but without the angst or charges.
