Philadelphia Applies For Bike Parking Station Funding

The July Edition of Philadelphia's Greenworks Newsletter lists a Bike Parking Station as one of the proposed recipients of Philadelphia's $14 Million Dollar allocation of the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Block Grants.

Other Projects Proposed Include:

• Install LED Traffic Lights
• Create a loan fund for energy efficient tenant improvements at commercial buildings
• Retrofit municipal buildings
• Incentivize recycling
• Create a bike parking station
• Train L&I employees on green building
• Investigating a Sustainable Energy Authority
• Implement and evaluate Greenworks Philadelphia

We don't have any details on the bike parking project. One question that we have is whether or not the bike station proposal is a full service facility (similar to the Union Station project in Washington DC) or an in-street bike parking corral.
