Descrizione
The bike racks are often completely full at the train station. There's tons of space, for example between the garage and the station. More bike racks would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend folks use the rack in the back near the lot. Just drive(?) your bike in the lot entrance. Your bike will be a little safer. The front rack is not safe and the locked room is usually full.

thanks for posting, new haven gill.
however, its pretty frustrating when the article states "Shovels will hit the ground in two to three weeks, Kilpatrick said.", and it was written last October.
does the new haven parking authority monitor SeeClickFix issues? or should we contact them?
i am wondering why there is such a delay.

I agree with newhavengirl that the back bike rack is good, but last time I was there it was also quite full.
As for Roger's comment about abandoned bikes, they "tag" every bike occasionally and remove the ones that are still there a few days later.

This seems like a duplicate issue, so I would recommend closing this and redirecting votes and comments to the existing issues.
If you disagree, just reopen this issue and keep commenting :) I agree with Juli that the delay is frustrating, as racks were promised by the New Haven Parking Authority long ago, and their (consultant, highly paid) engineers met with numerous citizen volunteers to obtain design feedback. Was the NH Parking Authority just trying to waste dozens of hours of citizen time and thousands of taxpayer dollars?
