UPDATE >>>
Tacoma is on the cusp of a new era in how we get around town. This city is poised to transform downtown biking from a simple recreational activity into a legitimate form of transportation for residents. Downtown On the Go and the City of Tacoma have made bike parking a priority this summer, culminating with the official opening of the Bike Cage in Park Plaza North Garage at 923 Commerce. A ribbon cutting and group hug (in spandex spadex shorts we imagine) will happen at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31. The public is encouraged to attend.
Here's the scoop via a statement released by the Tacoma Chamber:
Tacoma's newest bike parking, the Park Plaza North Bike Cage, is conveniently located on the 5th floor of the garage, directly across from the skybridge to Broadway. Designed to remove barriers to bicycle commuting by providing a secure area to store bicycles, the bike cage was a collaboration of Downtown On the Go and City of Tacoma staff. Early studies found that many offices in downtown do not allow bicycles to sit in offices and do not provide bicycle parking, yet there are many downtown employees who like to commute by bike.
