CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Charlottetown is offering a cost-sharing incentive to provide local businesses an opportunity to install a bike rack at their establishment. 

The municipality’s sustainability department heard from the public through the Let’s Talk Cycling pop-ups that there is a need for more bike parking in the city. 

The cost of the four-bike rack - $425 plus HST - would be shared evenly between the city and the business. Installation and maintenance costs for the lifetime of the bike rack would be the responsibility of the business. 

The city has capacity for 20 establishments to partner during the 2019/20 budget year. 

Interested businesses can learn more or register online at Charlottetown.ca/cycling.

This will then allow them to plant berries on the land. The project was on display April 19 at the UPEI faculty of sustainable design engineering annual expo. Vivian Ulinwa/SaltWire
