We have a project on a campus where we are installing a bike rack for our project within the campus bike parking area (within the LEED campus but outside the LEED project boundary). This bike parking area is barely within 200 yards of the building entrance as the crow flies. I have always taken the distance to the racks as a straight distance, and only used the walking distance for showers and changing rooms and this has never been questioned. Is this still the case or do we now need to also have the racks within 200 yards walking distance?

I've always used walking distance without problems. I'm not saying that is more right just what I have done. The RG does say that the 200 yards is measured from "a" door not the main door. Is it possible you have a door closer? Hopefully someone else can answer the distance question more definitively.
