Bicycle Racks

Q: I am a property owner. I wish to install a Bicycle Rack on the Public Sidewalk, for the use of the public. What kind of approval is required? What is the agency & application process?

A: CityRacks is a program through NYC Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) which allows private owners to request the installation of a bicycle rack on the sidewalk. There is an online application form to be filled-in by the Owner, with full permit instructions.
