This is the site analysis for my site. The green areas are trees, the burgundy areas are apartment buildings and the blue areas are private properties. The way the sun rise and sets in the winter and in the summer are shown as well.

Bicycle Cities

Biking is a popular -& green!- way to travel. Yet if there is nowhere to lock up your bike, people may be discouraged to use their bike to get around. Did you know that you can Request a new bike rack in your area? Cities all over the U.S. have multiple types of bike racks they can install and all you have to do is submit a request. Where would you like to encourage people to use bikes instead of cars? CLICK HERE to learn about bicycling in Chicago.

Comments

Great site analysis. I like the fact that you also factored in how the sun will affect this park. It's important to keep shading in mind, as you don't want the people going to your park to expire.
