The document below outlines standards for installing bicycle racks on City property. Racks must be anchored to concrete piers or a four-inch thick concrete pad, which should measure at least four by six feet for a single rack (parking two bikes). To prevent corrosion, a threaded steel rod should be used to secure the rack with a washer and nut creating an air gap.
Salt Lake City does not buy custom racks. If one is damaged, the property owner can replace it at their expense, which the city will install. Otherwise, the city will provide a standard inverted “U” rack.
