Bike Rack Requests

The City will install bike racks in the public right of way. You can request a bike rack by emailing Darin Ramsay at darin.ramsay@cityofrochester.gov.

Note: Requests for temporary bike racks at special events go through the Special Events Office and must be submitted by the event organizer or promoter.

Guidelines for the installation of a bike rack

To be considered, the location must meet the following guidelines:

  1. Must be within the City Right of Way or on City property; 
  2. Must serve a viable business or destination; 
  3. Must allow ample space for snow plow clearances and pedestrian travel (with bikes locked to rack); 
  4. Must not obstruct fire hydrants, and; 
  5. Must be within an existing paved area.
