Local resident, Jack Bartoff, submitted the above photo from a recent trip to Florida. He thought these Miami bike corrals were visually pleasing and simple to understand and would stand out around town. Currently, the City of Coronado has set up temporary bike corrals (photo below) at multiple locations to evaluate their usage and impact to downtown Coronado.
Here is an example of a temporary Coronado bike corral that was installed in June of 2013:
Another colorful inspiration can be find in Hillcrest in the below ‘rainbow corrals’ image:

Perhaps if permanent bike corrals are installed, the City of Coronado could be inspired to make the corrals in the shape of the Coronado Bridge “legs” with a blue top. Now that we think of it, the eCoronado.com logo could be used as a bike corral. 🙂

Summer is coming and without more bike parking, more and more impact will be felt around Coronado – not to mention theft. Here is a photo below from a previous summer at Spreckels Park:
