Greenwich Council has marked out 29 locations in the borough for dockless e-bike parking bays
Greenwich Council has revealed where Lime and Forest users will be able to find and park e-bikes across the borough. The council has marked out 29 locations for dockless e-bike parking bays in Greenwich.
The South East London authority has approved a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) that allows for the designation of these on-street parking places that e-bike customers can pick up and drop off the vehicles at.
Greenwich Council wants to encourage the use of low-carbon travel modes and reduce car journeys so it approves of the e-bike schemes offered by operators such as Lime and Forest.
Greenwich signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Lime last summer and has just signed a similar agreement with Forest. As part of these agreements, the e-bike companies pay the council £30,000 plus an annual fee of £170 per parking bay.
The memo provides a framework for how e-bike companies should operate in the borough, mainly focused on how and where bikes should be parked so that they do not become a nuisance for other road users and pedestrians.
The MoU also sets out the maximum and minimum number of bikes to be provided throughout Greenwich, the timeframe for operators to respond to issues with bikes, servicing and maintenance regimes, and the customer service available to e-bike users.
Greenwich Council has set out where it will establish the 29 e-bike parking bays, all of which surround Greenwich Park in the north west part of the borough. Road markings and signage will accompany the docking bays.
The council said that if any of these 29 locations receive objections from residents, they will be subject to further assessment.
