Great idea. Nice-looking, well-maintained bike racks would enhance the appearance of Ludington and perhaps encourage bike-riding. I mention well-maintained because a couple of months ago I noticed several of the downtown street lights along Ludington Avenue were no longer working and had not been lighting for some time. The lights need maintained, and that should be a high priority.

vivki, yes maintaining our facade is important, hopefully these will be low maintenence, they will be painted (blue?) and will add to the overall appearance

Hope y'all don't mind me every once in a while saying "this is what we're doing in Manistee," but I'm just hoping what I say may help down in your neck of the woods. Anyway, I've been pleased to be a part of the City of Manistee's Non-Motorized Transportation Committee and one of our accomplishments is to identify ten locations around Manistee each year where bike racks are then placed. We've been part of the active communities program, and I think this has given some grant money to the city to do things like the bike racks. One thing we'd like to do in the future is help put some racks on our dial-a-ride busses so bikers can combine biking with dial-a-riding.
