Accessible, Artistic & Secure Bicycle Parking

Downtown Milford Inc. in collaboration with the City of Milford's Department of Parks & Recreation and Lifecycle will buy and install public artistic branded bicycle racks in strategic locations throughout the City of Milford. These locations will include but will not be limited to the downtown shopping area, along the Mispiliion River Walk, and Goats Island Nature Park. Each bicycle rack will have a unique artistic design to convey Milford as River Town. Art Town. Home Town. The projected timeline: choose the artistic designs for each bicycle rack by January 1, 2018, order and install the bicycle racks by March 31, 2018. The unveiling of the bicycle racks to the public will include a brief ceremony and bicycle ride with stops at each bicycle rack locations on March 31, 2018.
 

December 2017 - Jan 2018 Research and finalize artistic branding design for the bicycle racks

January - February 2018 Establish locations for a minimum of 5 bicycle racks within Downtown Milford and Mispillion River Walk

February - March 2018  Order and install a minimum of 5 bicycle racks. 

This project will continue to strengthen Downtown Milford Inc.'s relationship with the City of Milford's Department of Parks and Recreation and exdend partnerships with Milford's artistic community which will assist in determining the appropriate design for the bicycle racks. In addition, the nature of the project will reach out to Milford's cycling community, clubs and individuals through the socially active cycling business Lifecycle. It will also encourage the general public and families to explore Milford's downtown and natural assets on their bicycles creating a feeling of cohesiveness within the community between businesses, pedistraians and cyclists. The project will become a unifier, a visual reminder of Milford's identity as both a progressive city yet true to its heritage.
