Mayor Thorne stated he had no preference as to the location of the second bicycle corral. Councilmember Brown expressed a preference for a second bicycle corral to be located near dining experiences such as those offered at Beer Baron and various ice cream shops. She supports staff's recommendation of the Main Street location with potential future bicycle corrals at the other proposed locations. At this time, she would prefer placement of the corrals in areas where they will be more likely utilized. Community Development Director Beaudin stated the new bicycle corral is the best utilized in the City. City Manager Fialho added the proposed locations balance the need for parking in the Downtown area while providing opportunities for the community to become more comfortable with bicycle corrals and utilizing cycling as a method of transportation. Community Development Director Beaudin reported installation of the bicycle corrals will have no impact on the City's General Fund and is a strategy consistent with various City policies, the Downton Parking and Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, and the General Plan. He noted staff would continue to explore other concepts to encourage alternative transportation methods and to support the need for parking in the Downtown area.
