WMATA Bike Storage Information |

Following up from yesterday evening's presentation, I'm forwarding information about availability and utilization of bike storage facilities at the Forest Glen station.
There are 16 bike lockers at the Forest Glen station, of which 13 are used. There are 42 bike racks, all the RackIII model. Of these, 38 are usable and 4 are in need of repair. We have made two observations of bike rack use rates: 14 racks were being used in the first observation, and 21 were being used in the second observation, with 2 bikes locked elsewhere on site.
It's worth noting that neither the lockers nor the racks are within sight of the station manager's kiosk (>300' from entrance), which may reduce the attractiveness of these facilities for potential users.
Hope this is helpful....if not, by all means email me with requests for more or clearer information.
Best wishes,
Nat Bottigheimer
