Help create a bike parking map

I thought I’d note down the bike parking spaces for my own records, but then realized that others could also benefit from a bike parking map. I’ve created a map open for collaboration where I’d like for us all to track and note the bike parking spots that is specifically designated as a bike parking spots (and not a lamp post or stop sign pole).

Too often it can be frustrating to reach a destination and find that the only options to secure one’s bike is to a tree or a lamp post. I’m hoping that by tracking bike parking spots in the city, we can use this data to pressure other businesses and organizations to designate and create more bike parking spots.

Despite the date, this is not a joke project.
