Bike Racks for Stoneham

Locations

The Stoneham CDC has launched a special campaign to purchase and install bike racks for twenty public locations in the Town of Stoneham. Phase 1 of the project is focusing on the three most urgent locations: the Stoneham Public Library, Stoneham Square (in proximity to the Common) and Recreation Park which is also accessible to the Boys and Girls Club and the end of the Tri-Community Greenway. Phase 2 is to purchase bike racks incrementally for the other identified locations.
​

Why do we need bike racks?​

Part of creating a vibrant community street life is improving the infrastructure for pedestrians and
bicycle use. Currently there are very few public bike racks in town – of the existing ones, most are
in poor condition. The lack of a safe, convenient place for bike storage is a major deterrent for
residents using bicycles in the town center.​

Accessible bike racks would:​

1) Encourage residents to bike to work.
2) Encourage children and youth to bike to the Stoneham Public Library, Recreation Park and other activities.
3) Bring more foot traffic from residents to Main Street businesses and Stoneham Square.
4) Provide a larger opportunity to bring recreational cyclists using the soon to be opened Tri-Community Greenway to the Stoneham Square area.
In addition to being healthy and ecologically-friendly,
​being bike-friendly is good for business!
