Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti, in partnership with the Bike Writers Collective and the support of the Hollywood Project Area of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, is sponsoring a competition for a unique bicycle rack for the East Hollywood community.

This project seeks to add visual appeal and transportation amenity to its vibrant East Hollywood streetscape along Hollywood Boulevard between Western Avenue and Vermont Avenue.

The City of Los Angeles welcomes the creative energy of the greater community to assist in the creation of this important element of street furniture – the bicycle rack.

To get some insight to the Hollywood bike rack situation, check out SoapBoxLA’s blog “Good for Bikes, Good for Business! Bike Parking!”

Get inspired and submit your ideas for not only ideal, safe, secure bike parking but also bike parking that the whole world can turn to and take examples from.
