New Bike Racks at the 5th & Alton Mall
I needed some things for dinner and quickly rode my bike to Publix at the Mall on 5th & Alton. It’s sort of a given that there would be no bike parking and I’d have to lock my bike to the garbage can, and indeed its what I had to do, but for a very different reason: there were new bike racks all full of bikes!
There are 13 new bike racks along the Publix side of the mall on 6th St, in addition to the two original ones.
Kudos go to the developer for actually delivering on what they promised the City of Miami Beach and for providing a service for their customers.
I did a quick circuit of the mall to see if there were more new bike racks. I saw four racks near the corner of Lenox and 5th, by the Vitamin Shoppe (I can’t remember if they are new or not, but I can’t really recall having seem them there before) and that was it. Since there are no stores on the 5th St-facing side of the mall yet there’s no big issue though once Petco finally opens, things may be different (the image below’s probably a small taste).
Still, thanks for the new bike racks. It makes me feel like we can indeed expect future bike needs to be met as well.
