Greetings!
Through the Delta Bike Project in Mobile, Alabama we are
working with city leaders and the Mobile Police Department to
update certain ordinances that have neglected to meet the
needs of our city.
One of those ordinances we seek to create is an ordinance
that allows the City/Police to recover abandoned bicycles that
have been chained up for some (unknown) extended amount of
time. We hope that the Delta Bike Project could be the
recipient of those bikes for inclusion into our Time
is Money Program. It's also a way to clear up our very
limited amount of bike parking - something we're also working
on through various fundraisers and agreements of understanding
to install fixit stations and bike racks.
Are there examples from this group of ordinances in your
city that allow public safety officials or others to recover
abandoned bikes? Do you have examples of that language that
you can share? Also, are there other similar ordinances that
are good to accompany these?
We are lucky to have the ear of the City Leaders and the
Police Department, so we would be ever grateful for feedback
on this issues.
Thank you,
Jeff
