The Bloomfield Development Corporation has been working with the Mayor’s Office and has installed six new bike racks, with more to come. And the post office has responded to our request to either clean up or replace the graffiti-riddled mailboxes. After doing so, one was overlooked on the corner of Liberty and Pearl, but with one phone call it was replaced the next day! Thanks to both the Mayor’s Office and the Post Office for helping us beautify Bloomfield!

If you are interested in having a bike rack installed in front of your business, contact Terry Aiello at terry@bloomfieldnow.com.

Earlier this month, we posted about the City of Pittsburgh’s Bike Rack Program. Well, if you wish to have a bike rack installed in front of your business, the City and Bike Pittsburgh have created an online request form. It should take you about as much time to fill out as it did to read this post.

Since you’ll save so much time by using that form, why don’t you take a minute to leave us a comment letting us know that you did?

The City of Pittsburgh will be launching their Bike Rack Program in a few weeks, and will begin installation of new bike racks in their main corridors and business districts as part of the mayor’s Taking Care of Business Districts Program. If your business is interested in having a bike rack installed, contact Karla by email or at 412-681-8800.
