Tuesday the Wichita City Council will hear about a proposal to add bicycle parking to the city’s Delano neighborhood.

Under the plan 135 bike racks would go in an area around west Douglas between Vine and McLean and around Lawrence Dumont Stadium. It’s part of the Delano Neighborhood Revitilization Plan and and effort to make the area more bicycle friendly.

Under the plan the racks would be installed in phases to offset the $72,000 cost. While city funding is being sought, the plan also would like to seek private contributions toward the project.

Tuesday’s resolution would not obligate the city to spend any money toward the project just yet. Click here for a link to the city’s website to see the entire project proposal.
