Pilot-Credits PC13:Bicycle Network, Storage, and Changing Rooms

Residential Bike Storage in Apartments?

The construction requirements for the bicycle storage seem to suggest centralized bicycle parking. Would individual ceiling-mounted hanging racks within apartment units comply with the credit requirements?

For the current iteration of this pilot credit, individual ceiling-mounted hanging racks within the units would not comply with the requirements. The current, implied intent is to remove obligation from multiunit residents from taking their bikes up to their apartments or condos. To be sure, the aggregated bike storage doesn't need to be centralized into one area. If it's easier for the project, there could be separate storage areas, so long as each are within the distance requirement.
