Sponsor a Bike Hitch through Low Cost Program
City of Minneapolis recently changed parking meters in Uptown from the old coin-fed style to a new pay-station style. As part of this conversion, they will attach a limited number of bike parking hitches to the new meters. To guarantee that a bike hitch will be installed near your business or residence, the cost is $50/meter with installation handled by the City at no cost to you. The Uptown Association is sponsoring 8 hitches. If you would like to sponsor one or more bike parking meters or have questions, please contact Susan at mplsbikeracks@yahoo.com or 612-568-6227.
