Suggest a Secure Bike Parking Location
This feedback map is for Secure Bike Parking, a new citywide program. NYC DOT would like to know how this program can best serve your bike parking needs. Please tell us what type of bicycle you would like to store (standard, e-bike, cargo, adaptive, etc.) and the length of time (long-term, short-term, overnight, weekends, etc.) at each suggested location. You may also indicate preferred amenities such as e-bike battery charging, tire pumps, and bike repair stations.
To add a suggestion, please select the most appropriate bike icon in the “select comment type” dropdown. Next select a submission type (map preferred) and place as close to an intersection or location of interest as possible. If there is an existing marker/pin at your proposed location, please add another marker/pin. If you're having trouble with adding your comments, please review "Feedback Map Instructions" or you can email your suggestions to SecureBikeParkingNYC@dot.nyc.gov.

Central location where bike parking would be helpful
Over the last six years there has been an increase of residents commuting by bicycle (likely due to increased cost of living). This is a very hilly area with combustible, pre-war, walk-up buildings without elevators or landlords providing bike storage. Also, many deliveristas live in the area and at night you will see their bikes locked to anything they can find as there are no official bike parking spots in the area and LL won't allow them inside (but they take their batteries inside). It would be important to survey the area carefully for the residents who bike from downtown Manhattan (anywhere else) who bike up these hills and then carry their bikes up two to six flights of stairs. Since this area is near Yankee Stadium, this adds to the increased amount of cars. Finally, they have a camera on Jerome and W 161 (can't tell you how many times drivers pass red lights there). There would be a few challenges: 1) The entire area may require DOT and bike infrastructure makeover. There are many streets in this area that are two-way streets, but with only one functional lane open to pass because of parking, notorious double parking all day, night, and overnight, and worse, when there are events at the stadium. Folks who don't want to pay for parking, but can't find regular street parking double park and/or park on the sidewalks throughout the neighborhood for the duration of their time at the stadium. This makes it very challenging for residents to walk through the neighborhood as well as the local residents trying to find parking on their way home from work. Without any bike infrastructure it is challenging to own a bike in this area. 2) Wherever this bike parking would be it is absolutely necessary that it be in a very clean, well-lit area and free of trash and debris so that it doesn't become a haven for vermin and the homeless. I saw another recommendation for bike parking on the corner of W 164th St and Ogden Ave -- personally, I would never park my bike at that intersection because a) it is always riddled with trash in the streets from stores' and residents' improper disposal, and the homeless go through it at night and strew it around the neighborhood. The area has two street lamps on that intersection that have not have not worked for over two years despite numerous 311 reports, so at night it is very dark, and with the increased homelessness and open drug use/sold there, that would need to be addressed first before I would trust my bike in a bike shed parking overnight. If the local residents have adequate bike wrenches to open the water pumps during the summer, then someone must must have bolt cutters and/or an angel grinder with ill intent. If I could afford to live in a building that had bike parking, I would.

Near Utica A/C (for bike > train commuters), B46 stop, Jackie Robinson Park, elementary school, public housing
I run a startup here, and several of my employees would love to bike to work, but there’s no space to park their bike in our office building.
