The Board of Supervisors Land Use & Economic Development Committee unanimously approved\u00a0updates to the Planning Code requirements\u00a0for bike parking in new and renovated buildings. Following unanimous passage at the SF Planning Commission and the Land Use Committee, these changes move forward for final adoption to the Board of Supervisors in late July. After years of advocacy from the SF Bicycle Coalition, the Planning Department brought forward changes to require more bike parking in both residential and commercial buildings, and a slew of other ways to improve the security of bike parking all across the city.<\/p>\n
