We're glad to have helped move the industry toward designing bike racks that assist sight-impaired pedestrians. @PBOTactive & Mike Schwindeller of @SeattleParks deserve the most credit for pushing design & procurement first, and then @SeattleDOT for updating its standard rack.
Help keep our sidewalks accessible and safe for everyone. #safestreets #visionzero #bikeparking
