Progress on the Berkley bike racks

Some of you may recall that my town of Berkley has been attempting to do something about bike parking and bike racks.  While we still don't have any bike racks, things are getting closer!

This past March I put together a plan for installing installing 9 upside-down "U" style racks along 12 Mile road (a major portion of our downtown area) within the city.  The Berkley Environmental Advisory Committee (BEAC) approved it and we sent it to the city manager. In May, the City Council approved the funding for the racks.  So, all that's left is sign off on the locations and quantity by the public safety (police), city planner, and the city manager, who then sends the final plan sent to council for approval (there may be others players, but those are key players).  After that, assuming council approval, the racks get ordered, installed, and we have somewhere to lock up our bikes safely.  In theory, this is all going to happen by the end of July.
