Bottom line: Commissioners will be asked to formally accept a LiveWell Community Wellness grant, part of which would go to fund transitioning three downtown parking spaces into bicycle corrals. Approval would start a public comment process for the project.

Background: The city proposed in October installing 22 inverted U racks on downtown sidewalks and replacing two vehicle parking spaces — one at the intersection of Eighth and Massachusetts streets and one at 100 East Ninth St. — with “bike corrals,” each holding up to 10 bikes. A third bike corral is proposed for an unallocated space in front of the Lawrence Public Library at 707 Vermont St. LiveWell awarded the project an $8,900 grant in November. If the grant is accepted, the bicycle parking locations will be discussed during a public comment period and agreed upon by the city’s Bicycle Advisory Committee before they’re brought back to the City Commission for final approval.
