SDOT recognizes that the removal of meter posts reduces parking options for bicyclists. As a result, we conducted a pilot program in 2005 along Broadway and the Pike/Pine corridor in the Capitol Hill neighborhood that tested a product that fits onto meter posts, converting them into official bicycle parking racks. Due to the program’s success, SDOT is expanding the installation of these racks into other neighborhoods. For more information, contact Monica Dewald from the SDOT Bicycle Program at 206-684-8562 or Monica.Dewald@seattle.gov.
