Project Description
The recently adopted Bicycle Master Plan identified a high demand and need for increased bicycle parking in the downtown. To meet this demand, the City will be installing over 50 bicycle racks throughout the Downtown, converting 3 motor vehicle spaces to bicycle corrals (bike parking), and installing at least 12 electronic bicycle lockers at the Downtown Caltrain Station. The purchase and installation of the bicycle racks and lockers are being funded by a Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) grant and a Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance grant.

Latest News: New-Style Bike Racks in Downtown Check out the 50 new bike racks installed in Downtown San Mateo installed just in time for Bike to Work Day scheduled for May 9, 2013. Some of the new racks are the new more artistic style of bike rack in the likeness of a real bicycle. They are easy to see as they come in bright blue, green, yellow and red. Refer to page 2 of our bicycle parking brochure for all locations.

Benefits of Work
Installation of new bicycle racks and lockers in Downtown San Mateo will provide bicyclists a secure and convenient parking space for their bicycle.

Anticipated Timeline
March 2013 to September 2013

Impacted Areas
Downtown San Mateo and the Downtown Caltrain Station

Expected Construction Impacts
No major construction impacts are expected with the installation of the bicycle racks. However, for the installation of the electronic bicycle lockers at the Caltrain station, there may be up to a 2 week period when bicycle lockers at the station are not operational.
