2012 Newhouse project #2012331 | school bike shelter
|I am coming up with a new design for my school's bike shelter. There are a few problems that I had to consider when coming up with a design. First of all, there isn't much space that can be used since the location of the current bike racks is very convenient. Therefore, I have to find a new location for the lunch tables as well as better bike racks since the ones that we currently have damage the bikes. Not only that but there isn't enough space and bikes are taking up sidewalk space which is a safety hazard. According to bike riders, their bikes are exposed to the sun for hours and this result in extremely hot seats after school.
