Join cyclists in bid for open space

Have you noticed that the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) parking space close to Building A has been empty for the last 4 months?  A small group of cyclists pooled their resources during last year’s CFC auction and won rights to the space for July thru October.  Because the cyclists “don’t need no stinkin’ parking space”, you have enjoyed a lovely bit of open space on your daily stroll through the parking lot.

Bidding is now open for the coveted parking space as part of the 2011 CFC fund raising activities.  All proceeds go to the local United Way.  If you would like to join with others to preserve this parking space as “open space”, contact Bruce Meneghin.

Expanded Bike and Motorcycle Parking

Building A’s new bike racks and motorcycle parking accommodates approximately twenty additional bicycles and nine additional motorcycles and mopeds!

After negotiating the relocation of existing service, fleet and client vehicle parking spaces, the Green Team and facility administrators agreed on a final design from a list of alternatives generated by all interested parties in the building. The preferred alternative plan was approved by Building A’s agency executives in the spring of 2009 and given to GSA to implement.

After the concrete was poured in July 2009, two Building A motorcycle riders contacted the Green Team with an idea for efficient motorcycle and moped parking. Working with the Green Team, they carefully designed a “herringbone” pattern for parking motorcycles and mopeds as well as optimal spacing from the two bike racks.

The new bike racks and motorcycle parking area was completed by CSU in September, 2009.

The Green Team is monitoring bike rack usage in order to add racks if their is sufficient need.
