Amsterdam Built A Parking Garage For 7000 Bicycles — Underwater!
Amsterdam’s metamorphosis from an automobile-centric city into a wonderland of multimodal transport began in the 1970s, Ricker reports. With the help of locals and enlightened politicians working cooperatively for a more livable city, private ownership of automobiles was discouraged in favor of clean and reliable car sharing services that receive preferential treatment. Electric cars are not seen as salvation in the city, where space to park any automobile is virtually nonexistent.
A street level bike path leads directly to the above ground entrance, which is marked by a large blue sign displaying a bicycle logo. The sign shows the number of parking places still available so riders can seek an alternative if the lot is full. From the entrance, a pair of rolling beltways transport bikes and owners underground. Red and green lights on the vertical columns inside the garage make it easy to see which rows of bicycle racks have open spaces available.
