I do remain pleased that Madbury Commons will be providing indoor secure bicycle storage space as well as outdoor spaces. As we all know, safety, convenience, and attractiveness of options are key to bicycle usage. So I am hopeful that Madbury Commons will install signage that is highly visible, clear in message, and welcoming to bicyclists who wish to avail themselves of these storage options. That may mean signage in more than one location, i.e., *pointing* residents to this less visible, less easily accessible, storage area. Please pass along my concern/suggestion to the applicant and the Planning Board, in turn. Thank you. — Robin Robin Mower Durham, NH 03824 * * * On Sep 15, 2015, at 2:41 PM, Michael Behrendt wrote: To the TRG, Please see the attached request for a modification from Ken Rubin for Madbury Commons about inside bicycle storage. The 2 approved site plan drawings, at the bottom, show the bikes to be stored in the larger, northerly building at 21 Madbury Road (marked “bikes” just to the left of the plaza area). The request is to relocate the interior bike storage to the basement in 17 Madbury Road, the smaller, southerly building. See the drawing immediately below. Students would enter the building from the main boulevard, take the elevator down one floor to the bike room. This drawing shows where the storage room would be, in red. This request is on the Planning Board’s agenda on September 23 [corrected]. If you have any comments about this proposed modification please send them to me by this Friday at 10:00 am at the latest. Thank you. -------------------- Per the Notice of Decision: Bicycles. There shall be parking/storage for a minimum of 60 bicycles outside and a minimum of 75 bicycles inside the building.
