Bike parking trial
Council recently trialled a new style of bike parking in Fitzroy and North Fitzroy. The trial concluded in April 2012.
The bike parking facilities are known as ‘Pole Vault’ rails. The rails are mounted on existing street signs and are designed to provide better support for bikes when they are chained up to prevent them from falling over.
The facilities were trialled in three locations in Fitzroy including:
- Brunswick Street, east side, north of Moor Street (attached to parking pole outside Thomas Gannan)
- Rose Street, near the corner of Brunswick Street, east side, (attached to parking pole outside Vegie Bar)
- Scotchmer Street, west side (east of Birkenhead St, near Dench Bakers).

Council will evaluate feedback received from cyclists, pedestrians, motorists, residents and business owners to determine whether this style of bike parking would be suitable in Yarra.
