University City District (UCD) is planning to install more bike racks in the area and needs help identifying places that need bike parking or additional bike racks.

Currently, UCD is accepting photos showing overcrowded or out-of-repair bike parking or bikes locked to trees, railings, etc. along commercial corridors and at other neighborhood destinations in University City.

You can share these photos on Twitter using #UCbikeparking or email them to: bikeparking@universitycity.org. Please include the date, time, and location. This information will be used to help select future bike rack locations.

Know of a place that needs a bike rack? Here’s your chance …

Ever want to tell someone who would listen about a spot that needs a bike rack? Now there’s an app for that.

Named “Got Bike Racks?,” the app (it’s more of a web-based survey and mapping tool, but still pretty cool) will help the University Bike Collective make an argument for getting bike racks where they are needed. The tool allows you to make a case for your spot, include a photo and comment on the requests of others.

Requests on the site so far include one for more racks at The Fresh Grocer. We echo that, but would add that the Supreme Shop ‘n Bag at 43rd and Walnut could use a couple more. Oh, and as long as you’re asking, how about 30th Street Station?

The app will be up until mid March.
