Parked Rental E-bikes in RBKC
ONA received the following request from RBKC's Sustainable Travel Team. Please provide your feedback!
Rental e-bikes have become a regular sight on borough streets and can be a convenient alternative to public transport or driving. The number of trips made by rental e-bikes has increased greatly in RBKC over the last few years.
We recognise that parking of rental e-bikes on narrow footways can cause a nuisance to residents, particularly where the footway is obstructed for those using wheelchairs or buggies. We are proposing to create dedicated parking bays for use by e-bike hire operators and their customers in existing parking bays across the borough. This will allow us to bring more control to where bikes are parked and reduce impact on pedestrians.
The web page at the address below provides details and plans of all of the proposed locations, listed by Ward, and includes the opportunity to respond to the consultation. For more detailed information on the proposed locations, and to respond to the consultation, please visit: https://consult.rbkc.gov.uk/communities/e-bike-parking
The consultation closes on 17 May 2023.
Kind Regards Sustainable Travel Team
