We are excited to announce that the construction of a new secure bike cage is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. The bike cage will be located between Environment 3 and Modern Languages and will hold 48 bikes. Space in the bike cage can be reserved for $10+HST/month and will be managed through Parking Services.

The bike cage project began as a student initiative to support more active and sustainable means of transportation to and from campus. Funding support was provided by Parking Services, the Sustainability Action Fund (SAF), the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Environment Students Endowment Fund (WESEF), VP Administration & Finance, the Faculty of Environment, the Faculty of Arts, and the Faculty Association of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ (FAUW).

This project supports the direction and proposed initiatives under ‘Improving Access & Wayfinding’ in À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s Campus Master Plan (2009), which calls for more accessible, adequate, and convenient secure bike parking throughout South Campus. This project also supports À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s commitment to increase active and sustainable commuting as outlined in the Environmental Sustainability Strategy (2017). Finally, this project supports student and employee health and well-being by encouraging healthier and more active modes of transportation.

Stay tuned for more details on timelines and reservations in the coming weeks. Ìý
