Bicycle parking experiment

Fietsenoverlast bij de UB

Incorrectly parked bicycles are a permanent source of concern during exam periods. Several times in the past year the University has removed – with prior notification and in cooperation with the city council – a large number of incorrectly parked bicycles. Owners could retrieve their confiscated bicycles from the city’s bicycle depot.

We are currently working on the following points: a permanent red carpet at the entrance to the UB, bicycle racks on the street, possible enforcement by University employees, and the clear demarcation of bicycle parking areas. A consultation with a behavioural expert from the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences has also been planned.
All these measures should lead to improved bicycle parking at the University Library.

The joint experiment with the Academy Building and the Harmonie Complex that began in 2012 will be continued in 2013.
