Lord Mayor and Infrastructure Minister get wheels turning on all-inclusive cycle parking facilities
Belfast Lord Mayor Councillor Micky Murray and Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd have visited Queen’s University Belfast to launch three unique on-campus cycle parking facilities at a ‘Transforming Travel Through Partnership’ event.
The cycle parking facilities have been part-funded by Queen’s and supported by Belfast City Council, with funding from the Department for Infrastructure. The project is part of a Belfast City Council initiative to develop a network of secure cycle parking locations, supported by the Department for Infrastructure through the Active Travel Enablers Fund.
The new, all-inclusive cycle, parking infrastructure at Queen's University Belfast main car park, near the Peter Froggatt Centre, is setting a new standard for cycling facilities in Belfast, encompassing a fob access e-bike parking facility, with an accompanying battery charging cabinet. A second, new open canopy shelter, also in the main Queen’s car park, is designed for bike commuters with disabilities, cargo bike users and other non-standard cycles. Beyond the main site, there is also a new fob access bike shelter at Queen's University's Physical Education Centre (PEC).
