Thanks for your request! We will evaluate this location within the next few weeks and post updates here.

Regarding the abandoned bikes - please put in a separate SeeClickFix under the request type "Abandoned Bicycle" and your request will be routed to the appropriate person in Public Works.

Thanks for the tip about the map too. It is based on satellite photos and does not always catch when a rack is removed.

Please note that sites for bike racks can be limited on narrow sidewalks due to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirement that a sufficient walkway be left open for people with disabilities.

Thank you for the prompt answer! I don't know why a second bike rack close to the one currently clogged was removed, but you can still see it in Google Maps (it was removed between 2007 and 2011): https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3729044,-71.0860516,3a,75y,217.5h,70.37t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sywJBQIva3396cMHm1WIQBA!2e0!5s20070701T000000!7i3328!8i1664

Since 2012 bicycle usage around 170 Gore St has gone up, and I often see bikes parked to poles as racks have not been available for quite some time. Thank you!

Public Works took care of the two abandoned bikes (Thank you!). It would still be nice to have additional bike racks in front of the 170 Gore St property. I truly appreciate your work.

Check out the white dots marked on the sidewalk. I laid out four new bike racks, which will be installed over the next 6-12 months.

Thanks again for your request! Locations for 4 bike racks have been identified and are marked on the sidewalk with white dots. These racks will be installed within 6-12 months. If you wish to inquire further, please email bikerack@cambridgema.gov.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
