Finally! We have rarely seen an actual bike parked in these spaces. They are mostly used by people to park themselves all day while creating a huge mess for the building to clean up at great expense. Many times we have seen groups of people cooking their drugs in broad daylight. Kudos to the Asa for not giving up in the fight to put up gates to protect their property from misuse. Why should it take years to get common sense changes made in our city?
A year or two ago when this problem was first publicized, I suggested that the "public" bicycle parking be installed nearer the curb in the street tree zone of the sidewalk, in order to fulfill the requirement for public access. Then the building alcoves could be secured and repurposed, perhaps as storage.

So true! With a minor in Social Work with an emphasis on Social Justice for the homeless.

You should work for one of our many useless government agencies - apparently this issue was too difficult for them to address in under a year.
