В Пентиктоне завершается сезон бесплатной парковки велосипедов на фермерском рынке

Bike valet service final operations this Saturday at the Penticton Farmers’ Market Last week for bike valet Saturday will be the final free bike valet service at the Penticton Farmers’ Market, as summer winds down in the Okanagan. The City of Penticton shared on Wednesday that more than 1,600 bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters have used their valet so far this season. “Choosing to travel by bike or e-scooter helps reduce short car trips, ease congestion and parking pressure, and support local businesses,” Sustainability Coordinator Lucie Giraud-Telme said in the news release. “It also encourages outdoor activity and everyday movement, while reducing emissions and supporting Penticton’s broader climate and transportation goals.” The BC Bike Valet grant, funded by the Province of BC and delivered through the BC Cycling Coalition (BCCC), helped the operations continue free of charge. While the bike valet is ending at the Farmers’ Market, there will be valet service at Skaha Lake Park during the Dragon Boat Festival on Sept. 12 and 13 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outdoor bike racks are also available at locations throughout downtown. The city said any businesses and multi-unit residential buildings that want to increase access to bike parking can get bike and scooter racks through the Blue Skies Transportation Fund.
