Bicycle Parking in Garages
San Francisco has legislated the installation of bicycle parking in all City-owned garages and privately-owned garages that rent automobile space to the public.

City-owned and privately-owned garages that rent automobile space to the public are subject to the bicycle parking requirements of the San Francisco Planning Code. Article 1.5 Section 155.2 should be referenced. The Planning Department is responsible for enforcement of Section 155.2. Certain new commercial and renovated buildings, as well as City-owned buildings are subject to othersections of the Planning Code that require bicycle parking and may also require installation of clothes lockers and showers. The Bicycle Program has recently completed a comprehensive report detailing garage compliance.
