After the first day and a half of phase one Near Southside Bike Parking Improvement Project installations, crews from AUI Contractors have got 49 new bike racks in place. The first segment completed is Magnolia from 8th to Washington, with the rest of Magnolia to Hemphill and a few locations on Jennings and South Main in progress. The following is a sort of “field guide” to the first 49 new racks, complete with photos from the evening of installation day. The photos are accompanied by a rack count, and the names of some nearby businesses.
The Near Southside Bike Parking Improvement Project is a joint venture of us here at Fort Worthology, Fort Worth South, Inc., and Trinity Bicycles. Bike racks are by Saris. Installation by AUI Contractors. Funded by the Near Southside TIF District.
We begin near 8th Avenue, and head east.
