Description
Was told I could request a bike rack via SeeClickFix. There are not many (if any) in the Westville Village center. Just today I saw 2 bike racks posted to the electric pole outside the shop.
A perfect spot would be right next to the trash can in front of 910 Whalley Ave. I think it would greatly help people biking to/from this neighborhood center.

There are currently five bike racks in Westville Village, aside from those in Edgewood Park and by Mitchell Library. WVRA has requested some additional ones from the City for the area of Blake & Whalley and will work with them to make sure one is right by 910 location; agreed it's a good spot.
We also have an opportunity to locate a bike maintenance station in the Village, like the City has installed at the Parks Office on Edgewood Ave. and at a few other places throughout the City. Any thoughts on a good location for that? We've looked at a few different spots - Mitchell Library being one, the corner of Edgewood Park being another (at West Rock & Whalley) and at the top of the steps or on the sidewalk outside the Park New Haven lot at Blake & Whalley being a third - but would like to hear others' thoughts.

Thanks for the info Chris. I didn't really inspect the entire area, just didn't notice any in the very center where I often see people bike and lock up. If one goes up near 910 or the center, great!
As far as the bike maintenance station, I think it just has to be in an obvious area... probably close to bike racks. Depending how many are lined up at the corner of Edgewood park, that makes sense. The Park New Haven lot also makes sense, but not if there currently aren't any bike racks there (maybe there should be!).
