Thanks to a program administered by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, Sherborn will soon have several additional bike racks to encourage and facilitate bicycle use in Town. MAPC has $898,000 available to distribute among its 101 cities and towns. The funds are distributed by population, but with a minimum allocation of $3000 per town. Being one of the smaller towns in the MAPC region, Sherborn is eligible for the minimim of $3000. Installation and shipping ($400) are not included.
There are three vendors participating in the program with several styles available. After reviewing what is available, I selected a style called "Hi Roller" from Dero Bike Rack Company located in Minneapolis. This style consists of a series of "humps" with the "humps" bent for greater stability.
We have ordered two 7-bike racks and six 4-bike racks. They will be installed by CMD at Jameson and Fessenden Fields, Laurel Farm Fields, Town Hall and the Library, and Farm Pond.
