City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #180637

Temporary Signage w/o permit:

Other: Bloomington Hardware (at the Covenanter-College Mall intersection) removed all their bicycle parking spaces a couple years ago. Does that violate city code or can businesses just do that at their discretion?

The site plan for Bloomington Hardware is so old that we do not have record of it. Unless Planning staff can determine that the bike parking was required by City Code at the time that a site plan was approved, we cannot compel Bloomington Hardware to have bike parking. They were able to remove the bike parking at their discretion.

Staff is looking into this. Based on Google street view, the bike racks disappeared sometime between 2018 and 2019. We will have to determine if they were required with the original site plan for the building. If they were, they must be replaced. If they were not (or staff cannot find a site plan because it was approved too long ago), the removal of the bike racks would be acceptable.
