(1) Short-Term Bicycle Parking. Short-term bicycle parking serves trips less than two (2) hours in length such as errands and quick activities. Short-term racks may be placed on sidewalks, in front of stores, or within parking structures and shall not obstruct pedestrian movements, ADA accessibility, or block doors. Short-term racks shall be placed no more than fifty (50) feet from the main building entrance. Unless given approval from Provo City Planning, only the following racks shall be used for short-term parking: bike docks, inverted U racks, post and ring racks, stadium racks, and bike corrals. All racks shall be spaced a minimum of thirty-six (36) inches away from any other fixed object (including other bike racks) and twenty-four (24) inches from the curb to allow easy loading and unloading. Short-term racks should be weather-protected by siting racks under existing structures when possible. Short-term racks shall be secured to the ground by mounting them below the grade in concrete, or using either concrete spikes or concrete wedge anchors to mount them into existing concrete, asphalt, pavers, or similar hardscaping.

(2) Long-Term Bicycle Parking. Long-term bicycle parking provides bicycle storage for stays longer than two (2) hours, all day for a work commuter, or even overnight. Long-term facilities shall protect the entire bicycle against theft and inclement weather, including snow and wind-driven rain. Only the following shall be counted as long-term bicycle parking: bike rooms, dedicated parking areas, or bicycle lockers. All racks shall be spaced a minimum of thirty-six (36) inches away from any other fixed object (including other bike racks) to allow easy loading and unloading. All long-term parking facilities must be on the ground level of the building, accessible with an elevator, or inside a ramped garage. Users shall not be expected to carry their bicycle over stairs to use the parking facility.
