The City of Victoria is bringing back its free bicycle valet service starting this month.
The no-cost bike parking will operate seven days a week from March 17 until Dec. 23 at the corner of Pandora Avenue and Broad Street, with expanded hours in the summer months.Over its four-month tenure, the service was used more than 11,000 times and more than 800 bikes were registered with 529 Garage, an initiative to locate lost or stolen bikes, according to the city.
"The valet provides a secure and convenient service for residents, visitors and commuters, and encourages more people to visit, shop and dine downtown." The city says feedback on the pilot project was overwhelmingly positive, with 77 per cent of survey respondents saying they cycled downtown more often and 82 per cent saying they stayed downtown longer because of the valet.
"The valet makes it easy to travel to work, attend festivals, go to appointments, or enjoy the diverse restaurants and shops downtown."
