Houston BCycle Station Finds New Home at 611 Walker
It’s official, the newest Houston BCycle station is located on prime time real estate, at the Bob Lanier Public Works Building, 611 Walker! The installation of the Louisiana & Walker bike station took place on August 24, and some of our planners were able to see first-hand the delivery and set up of a BCycle station. The Louisiana & Walker Bike station is solar-powered and can dock 13 bikes at full capacity.
The Houston Permitting Center will also be getting a bike station in the fall. The two bike stations will provide an important connection between the two facilities and allow city employees and customers to commute back and forth on a bike, and bypass the hassle of driving and parking. The bike station formerly located at City Hall will be relocated to Bagby Street and Walker in October, which is the estimated timeline for completion of the Bagby Street improvements.
