Stop waiving NCC's UDC requirement for bicycle parking. Update the UDC to APBP-compliant standards and enforce it.
We also need to update the code language, to reflect the need for APBP compliant bicycle parking (includes wheel and frame support). Newark updated theirs a couple of years ago, and at least in the City, wheelbending "toast" racks should be a thing of the past.
If you know anyone who bikes for transportation, or just for a cup of tea on the weekend and would like secure bike parking at places of business, please have them sign this petition. Thanks!

There have been many establishments built w/o bike parking since this code was enacted 15 years ago. It appears whoever is signing the certificate of occupancy is either ignorant or just doesn't care.
Convenient bike parking and bike-safe roads will help us to keep fit and reduce carbon emissions.
Having secure bike parking is keeping up with the future of keeping our planet green, by encouraging more bikes.
An excellent plan that should continue.

don't waive bicycle parking requirements!! bicycle parking is inexpensive to install and provides benefit to those who cannot afford other modes of transportation or choose to ride a bike instead of driving or taking public transportation.

We have some reasonable laws, but they need to be enforced. Too often the needs of cyclists are overlooked in a way that would never happen to motorists. Secure and appropriate bike parking is a critical element of using a bike for transportation. Please stop issuing waivers and make sure that before the certificate of occupancy is granted, the bike parking is installed.
