Last year, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition held a Treasure Island bike rack contest. Kirk Scott, Todd Gilens, Daly Genik Architects, and Ryan Dempsey won the opportunity to create bike racks in the spirit of Treasure Island, which, as of Tuesday, can now be seen in San Francisco.
Next time you go to City Hall or Market Street downtown you can lock your bikes up to a few unique bike racks. Last year the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition organized a bike rack design contest as part of our work in bicycle and pedestrian planning for Treasure Island. The winning designs use the same square-tubed steel material you see on standard U-racks and if mass-produced, could cost about the same as the standard U-rack, yet offer a context to Treasure Island to a person locking up or walking by. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is proud to showcase these racks and continue to work toward planning a redeveloped Treasure Island that prioritizes biking and walking, while also helping to meet the growing demand for places to lock your bike in front of City Hall and especially on Market Street!
The bike racks are presented by SF Bike Coalition, SF Department of Public Health, Caltrans, and curated by Laurie Halsey Brown.
