Victoria Square Bicycle Hub - Your input please?

If you've got something to say about the Bicycle Hub in the Victoria Square redevelopment now is the time to say it. All input is welcome.

This morning I attended a meeting on the Victoria Square Bicycle Hub on behalf of the Bicycle Institute of South Australia. The meeting was called by the project management consultants for the Victoria Square redevelopment and involved the architect, Adelaide City Council, the Office of Cycling and Walking, Bicycle SA and BISA.

The big picture is that the Master Plan for the Victoria Square redevelopment has been approved by Adelaide City Council and that plan includes what is being called a Bicycle Hub. Over the next eight months the detailed design work for the redevelopment will be conducted. Input you provide now can influence the design. There will be another meeting in a month's time where BISA can raise your ideas, concerns and support. We can also forward a link to this discussion to project managers and architects.

The following is background picked up today:
  • The location is the South West corner near a tram stop and a cafe.
  • Most of the facility will be underground.
  • The number of bikes the facility will park has yet to be determined, as has the number of lockers, showers, toilets, etc.
  • The range of services to be provided at the facility is yet to be determined.
  • The King George Square Cycle Centre in Brisbane was raised as an example.
  • Adelaide City Council are paying for the facility to be developed and while they acknowledge there will be sunk costs they want to see the Bicycle Hub be financially self supporting.
Over to you Adelaide Cyclists. If you had your way what would you develop and how would you use it?

In Sep-2011 I was in a group of cyclists who were given a guided tour of the George Street facility and the newer facility at the Brisbane Hospital. Both are very clean, provide extras like hairdryers and work well.
