Winter is on its way, and we’re getting ready! As part of our ongoing efforts to support cycling year-round, we’ve been working with Grounds Services in Plant Operations to plan how bike racks will be handled during the snowy months.
In Spring 2025, Sustainable Transportation worked with the Special Constable Service to begin executing our bike parking plan, which aims to improve bike security across campus and enhance end-of-trip cycling facilities. We reorganized bike racks into more secure and accessible locations and retired some older rack styles. Now in the second phase of the plan, we’re turning our attention to winter arrangements.
Here’s what to expect:
-
Many racks will remain in place with snow cleared to keep them in service.
-
Some racks will be temporarily moved to make room for snow-clearing equipment. Don’t worry – they’ll be back in the spring! Moves are scheduled for this week.
-
Some racks will remain but won’t be maintained, so they may be harder to access after a snowfall.
The bike parking plan ensures that there are bike racks available for use near every building. Grounds staff work hard to keep campus safe and accessible during winter, and we appreciate your understanding as we balance snow removal needs with cycling access.
Thanks for riding with us – whatever the season.
