  4. Campus-wide Bike Parking Funding Agreement

    Associated Project(s): 
    FY09 SSC Bike Parking Upgrades [ARCHIVED]
    FY12 SSC Bike Parking Upgrades [ARCHIVED]
    Student Sustainability Committee (SSC)

    Bike parking is essential for supporting green commuters as well as raising awareness and supporting biking on campus. In 2009, the SSC funded $10,600 for standard bike parking at three popular locations on campus, Freer Hall, the Undergraduate Library, and the Agricultural Engineering Sciences Building. Later in 2012, SSC provided $225,000 in order to replace old donut-hole bike parking with U-loop parking at the Armory, the Main Library, the Foreign Language Building, and other high-traffic areas on campus.

  9. Funding for employee from F&S Executive Director

    Associated Project(s): 
    Campus Bike Center

    This afternoon, I verified with Jack Dempsey that he is still willing to fund a 900-HR extra-help employee for the first year of the new Campus Bike Project.  The employee will be paid $12.00 per hour for 900 hours, so the full cost is $10,800. - Morgan Johnston

  12. Creation of the Campus Bicycle Shop

    Associated Project(s): 
    Campus Bike Center

    In spring of 2009, discussions began between the University of Illinois and The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign, regarding an on-campus bicycle shop.  Fred Davidson, Joel Gillespie, and Tony Cherolis were key representatives of The Bike Project.  Morgan Johnston, Steve Veazie, and Jeff Courson were key representatives of the UI.  The files attached here represent some of the effort that initiated this program.

    The original shop was called the Campus Bike Project.

  13. Bike Parking Funding Agreement

    Associated Project(s): 
    FY09 SSC Bike Parking Upgrades [ARCHIVED]
    Student Sustainability Committee (SSC)
    FY12 SSC Bike Parking Upgrades [ARCHIVED]

    The goal of this project is to fund installation of bicycle parking facilities at the Undergraduate Library, the Ag. Sciences Engineering Building and Freer Hall. Cycling is a sustainable form of transportation, highly used by the student body, and inadequately supported on campus. Thus the students sustainability committee is in favor of funding the full requested amount of $10,600.
