The City installs bike and scooter parking throughout Spokane for public access. Bike racks and parking areas are available for installation on public sidewalks and in the public right-of-way. The City of Spokane's shared mobility program for e-scooters and e-bikes, operated by Lime, funds these bike racks and parking areas in order to support safe and secure parking options in accessible locations.
When there is ample access to bikes and scooters, as well as places to park them, people are more inclined to use them to go from place to place in the city - whether that be their home, their place of work or their favorite local businesses.
There are several styles of bike parking areas and racks around the city for bicycles, e-scooters, and e-bikes. The City has gradually increased the availability of public bike racks over the past decade. In 2020, the City began installing in-street "corrals" for scooter and bike parking. In 2021, The City of Spokane and Spokane Arts partnered together to create six new bike parking areas consisting of corrals with three racks and murals by local artists. This year, more than 20 additional bike racks and parking areas will be installed. Businesses and residents can also submit requests for additional bike racks through the form at the top right of this page.
For more information about recommended styles, spacing and models of both short-term and long-term bike racks, as well as information on City requirements for both styles of bike parking, please read the City’s Bicycle Parking Guidelines (PDF 3.4 MB).
