I too have parked my bike there, mostly to buy beer, and locked it to the railing on the ramp by the USPS.A rack would be nice.

Thanks, Damien! Do you have a relationship with them? Any ideas on whether they would be amenable to bike parking facilities on their property?

We've talked often in the past of the bike parking deficit at South High Station and I've had a similar encounter when using their services (I assume that's the post office you're talking about?). There is now a nearby parking ring on High Street but unless you knew it was there you would probably ride past it on your way into the shopping center. I do wish the property manager of South High Station would provide parking somewhere in that lot. Does anyone here know who the owner is? See attached for a diagram of where the new parking ring is located in relation to South High Station.

Hello Drew and all,Yesterday at the post office I witnessed a cyclist who was not allowed to bring his bike inside the Post Office but also had no place to lock it up outside the post office. He did just prop it up against the building and wait in line. I know that the post office leases the space from a private developer and that they are unlikely to be willing to install a bike rack even if it was given to them. Just the same, I thought I would relay to the Bike Board the need and perhaps you have some ideas of how to get one put in there. Ella
