How about bike racks in front of Lefavour?
I saw a new bike rack over near Palace Road. That, along with the nicer weather, rekindled my interest in having bike racks installed in front of Lefavour, where bicyclists clearly want to park. I wonder if the City of Boston, given Mayor Menino's interest in making Boston a "world class biking city", would give Simmons a hand by letting the college place bike racks on the city property in front of Lefavour?
This would seem to go hand-in-hand with Green Simmons and the desire to decrease reliance on cars and the air pollution they create.
Here's a poorly sewn together image of photos I took today in front of Lefavour, which is actually very similar to pictures I've taken all winter, and two places where a bunch of bike racks could happily go. The little red lines and arrows show 5 bikes (plus the red scooter) parked. In addition, there's actually one directly across the street by the bus shelter.
Why not put the racks where people want to park? Such racks would serve Lefavour folk. The racks by the Science Center are usually full in good weather, and could continue to serve Science Center cyclist traffic.
