Building bike shelters was another proposed idea. Bikers who attended some of the meetings talked about enclosed lockers. Ohigashi said that they are a good idea but would be very expensive. Building structures like bike shelters would entail many requirements being met. Ohigashi said that all improvements would have to follow the Long Range Development Plan, a plan of building changes that UH instituted last year.
Permission needs to be attained along with necessary building permits.
Most importantly, the funds need to be there. Improving biking conditions depends heavily on UH's budget. Budget cuts and limited funds means that it comes down to a matter of priority. Currently, restoring and maintaining buildings takes precedence. Spencer said that if accidents and safety became a problem, UH would focus on that.
