Anyone have any experience with a community bike shop or bike center being developed as a part of, or connected to, a sports stadium?
St. Paul recently approved - and provided property tax relief (but no direct subsudies) - the development of an 18,000 seat stadium in a mixed residential/commercial area of St. Paul. People are already talking about issues with parking and how to do bike/walk/transit promotion. I can't help but think that this would be a great opportunity to put in a bike center with retail, repair, and classes and programs.
But I just haven't seen anything along these lines ever having been tried. Anyone know anything about it?
