A minimum of one parking space per residential unit is recommended, <br />however, to ensure that on -street spaces are not overloaded in the <br />evening and overnight. <br />T- 4 Bicycle parking requirements in City Code. <br />Secure bicycle parking facilities are needed to encourage more <br />employees to ride to work. The recent expansion of the Snohomish <br />County Campus provided a secure lock-up room for 100 bicycles. <br />A provision needs to be added to the development code to require secure <br />bicycle parking (individual bike lockers or controlled lock-up rooms) for <br />employees. The code should require one secure bicycle parking space <br />per 5,000 square feet of commercial office or retail floor area. The code <br />should further require provision of shower and locker facilities for <br />employees in all commercial buildings greater than 20,000 square feet. <br />On -street bicycle parking racks should be provided for customers <br />wherever appropriate. These facilities should be included in the <br />downtown street standards to ensure consistency with other street <br />furniture and themes. <br />T- 5 Bicycle lanes on Hoyt Avenue. <br />North -south bicycle corridors to and through downtown are considered <br />essential to attract more people to use this mode of travel. <br />Hoyt Avenue is considered the prime candidate for a north -south bicycle <br />route that would connect the bike lanes on Colby Avenue at 23rd Street to <br />the Interurban Trail at 41 st Street in the south. Angle parking on Hoyt <br />Avenue must be redesigned to parallel parking to accommodate <br />designated bike lanes in each direction. The route will take cyclists <br />through the downtown core and past the Everett Library, the Monte <br />Cristo, the Childrens' Museum and the Post Office. <br />PLAN ELEMENTS <br />Figure 68.
