UPDATE: Tenant Bicycle Access in Existing Commercial Buildings




BOMA San Francisco Members:

UPDATE - March 5, 2012

On February 28, 2012, Supervisor John Avalos introduced a number of amendments to clarify minor issues within the legislation:
  • Clarifying that secure bicycle parking is already defined in the Planning Code  (page 6, line 4-5);
  • Cleaning up the filing exemption requirement to allow for the Department of Environment to establish online filing (page 6, line 7-9);
  • Making accommodations if the SFMTA ever renames their bicycle division (page 6, line 19-20).

--------------------

UPDATE - February 23, 2012

Please note that the Tenant Bicycle Access in Existing Commercial Buildings Ordinance will be heard at the Board of Supervisors meeting on February 28, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in Room 250 in City Hall.

Please email John Bozeman at johnb@boma.com if you'd like to attend in support of this measure.

Thank you for your time and kind consideration!
