City looking to install bike corrals in Austin's core The City of Austin’s Bicycle Program is taking applications for additional bicycle corral locations throughout Austin’s core. Bicycle corrals transform a standard on-street vehicle parking space into parking for 8-14 bicycles, serving more potential customers and providing an avenue for businesses to be more bicycle friendly. They also provide an opportunity to enhance street and neighborhood identity.





If you are interested in requesting a corral in front of a business, please send your request to bicycleprogram@austintexas.gov. Please include the following information in your email: Subject: Bicycle Corral Request – [Insert Street Address]

Requested location of bicycle corral

Business name

Business address

Business owner or managers’ contact information (name, phone, email)

Notes about availability and current usage of nearby bicycle parking and available on-street vehicle parking

Requests will be evaluated based upon available street space, bicycle parking demand and availability of nearby bicycle parking. If you are a resident requesting a bicycle corral, you must obtain support from the business owner and provide contact information. Requested locations will be evaluated by City of Austin staff. If selected, the bicycle corral would be installed in the public right of way and at no cost to the business owner.
