Downtown Prince George will be making it a bit easier to ride your bike to a handful of events this summer.
Downtown Prince George is launching a free Event Bike Valet for this summer, offering a secure way for residents to store their bicycle while attending some downtown events this summer:
- Naguz’ An Container Market, June 5-7, Canada Games Plaza
- Community Art Days, June 12-13, Two Rivers Gallery
- Downtown Summerfest, July 19, Veteran’s Plaza
- PG Public Library’s Touch a Truck Event, Date TBD, Canada Games Plaza
- PG Farmer’s Market Corn Festival, August 30, Third Avenue
- Women’s Collective Weekend, September 19-21, Civic Centre
Residents who want to use the service can look for a big red tent at the participating event.
In partnership with the Prince George RCMP, the valet site will feature Garage 529, a bike registration and theft prevention program.
“This initiative is about creating a more bike-friendly downtown while also addressing safety, which we know is a concern for many residents,” said Downtown PG Executive Director Chrisie Berry.
“The Event Bike Valet offers a secure place to leave your bike so you can relax and enjoy the event, and with the RCMP on site through the Garage 529 program, we’re also supporting a safer and more welcoming environment overall. We’re proud to bring this service to the community thanks to the incredible support of our partners.”
Funding for the program comes from the BC Cycling Coalition in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation and Transit.
