City of Healdsburg Bicycle Parking | Business Community Survey

The City of Healdsburg is embarking on the development of an Active Transportation Master Plan, which will replace the City's current Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.

An Active Transportation Master Plan, or ATMP, is a long-term strategic plan to improve walking, cycling, and other modes of active transportation, and includes recommendations for new policies, processes, and infrastructure based on public and stakeholder input.

At this time, the City is collecting input on bicycle parking as it relates to the business community. There will be additional opportunities for citywide public input on bicycle parking in the future. The feedback from both the business community and the public as a whole will be used as input for bicycle parking recommendations within the Plan.

Question Title

* 1. Do you think Healdsburg has adequate bike parking?

No, I think there is a need for additional bike parking.

Yes, I think existing bike parking is sufficient.

Question Title

* 2. Have you encountered any concerns or issues caused by bicycles parked in inappropriate or less than desirable locations?

No I have not.

Yes I have.

If yes, what type of issue was it, and in what location?

Question Title

* 3. Do you believe your business would benefit from additional onsite or nearby bicycle parking?

No I do not.

Yes I do.

Question Title

* 4. If the City purchased and installed bike racks, would you want to have one installed on your property?

No I would not.

Yes I would.

Question Title

* 5. If you feel you don't have space on your property for bike racks, would you want to have bike racks in the Public Right-of-Way (sidewalk/other public property) near your business?

No I would not.

Yes I would.

Question Title

The standard U-shaped bike racks, as shown below, are recommended by the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition:

Question Title

* 8. Would you prefer this type of U-shaped rack, or something more artistic?

I prefer the U-shaped bike rack.

I prefer a bike rack that's more artistic.

Question Title

* 9. Do you think the racks should be uniform citywide, or would you prefer a variety of styles?

I would prefer all bike racks look uniform across the city.

No I would not.

Yes I would.

Question Title

* 11. Do you have any other feedback, suggestions, or concerns for City staff to consider?
