Bike Rack Funding For Your Business

Hawthorne Businesses!

The City of Minneapolis has received a grant from Transit for Livable Communities through the Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot (NTP) Program to install bike racks throughout the city.

Part of this funding has been set aside to help local businesses install bike racks in front of their establishments.

This grant will help supplement the city's annual bike rack appropriation, allowing for considerably more bike racks to be installed in 2008.

If you have a business that is interested in this opportunity please have them call 612-673-2129 or e-mail Donald Plaum Donald.Pflaum@ci.minneapolis.mn.us directly.

A site visit will be scheduled and city staff will help the business owner determine number, style, and location of the bike rack.

The business owner is responsible for 50% of the cost of the rack plus 50% of the cost of installation. The grant will pay for the other 50% of the expenses.

Businesses need to respond back by May 1, 2008 to ensure that they will have a rack installed in 2008 as part of this program.
