Bike Parking: North Side of King between Bay and James

A quick tour of the bike parking on this downtown stretch of King Street in Hamilton ON (click on map below for overview of placement). 

Why so few places to securely lock a bicycle along this busy commercial area in the city's core?
Lots of room but no bike parking King at Bay 
A rack outside the Sheraton Hotel
A new "Sandanista" rack outside RBC at King across from MacNab

No racks between MacNab and James

New rack on James North at King Street

University Plaza adds some bike parking


While TLC never heard back from RIOCAN about the lack of adequate bike parking at University Plaza in Dundas, there have been two new racks installed on the south section of the plaza! It would have been nice to have them communicate with us about the style of racks to use, the ones they chose not being the best from a security standpoint. Preferable would have been the style that was previously the only rack at the plaza, where cyclists can easily lock their bicycle frame to the rack with an u-lock.
 This rack is placed by the Toy Store, and some vacant stores. You can see how the rack provides limited opportunity to secure a bicycle frame to the rack with a u-lock.
