FAQs about LTc6 :

Can double-stacked bike storage racks comply with this credit?

Regarding the requirement to provide shower facilities on commercial and institutional projects, what counts as “on-site”?

What is length of stay is considered ‘short-term’ vs. ‘long-term’?

If the building is listed in Appendix 2 Default occupancy codes with zero transients, does that mean we don’t have to provide any short-term bike spaces?

Project Boundary (Urban Environment) - Bike racks on sidewalk

I have a commercial office building in Manhattan with retail on the ground floor.  The public sidewalk is excluded from the Project Boundary because it is outside of my property line and a public right-of-way.  I am providing a bike room in the building with showers. The question I have is this: I am obligated as the owner to provide bike racks in front of my building and I would like to count them towards the transient LEED requirement (ie visitors to retail functions).  They are within the distance requirement to a main entrance, but they are technically outside of my project boundary.  Am I able to count them or not?

Thoughts? Thanks.

Matthew, there is an FAQ on LEEDuser on this that relates to shower facilities. That doesn't speak to your question directly, but gives some context as to the kind of latitude that GBCI allows on siting facilities relative to this credit. There are other precedents for facilities supporting LEED credit compliance outside of LEED boundaries. I think your proposal is fine. It meets the credit requirements, with the key facet that the racks are being "provided."
