Origin
Summary
In response to a request from City Council, the purpose of this report is to provide a summary on usage and revenue for the Nathan Phillips Square Bicycle Station. Information for the Union Station Bicycle Station is also provided.
The Bicycle Station at Nathan Phillips Square opened in May 2019. The station has capacity for 175 bicycles and can serve approximately 200 people, since not every member parks every day. Since opening day, 172 people have registered to use the facility, 117 of whom maintained active member status as of March 17, 2020. Occupancy peaked at just over 50% of capacity early in March 2020, with 92 bicycles parked.
Since March 17, the Bicycle Station counter-service has been closed as a result of COVID-19, and existing staff have been reassigned, and as such, the facility is temporarily closed to new members. Existing members with multi-month passes have continued to utilize the facility.
