Bike Parking Infrastructure

To make the loop truly functional, we need secure bike parking at each stop:

  • ✓Eight new bike racks at major loop stops
  • ✓Double-decker parking and charging stations in Midtown
  • ✓Weather-protected bike storage at schools

Making It Happen

The Verona Bike Loop is more than just infrastructure—it's about creating a community where families feel safe, where children can bike to school independently, and where neighbors from all corners of town can easily connect.

It's about giving pedestrians and cyclists the same consideration we give to cars.

This vision is achievable, but we need community support to make it happen.
