EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - The city of Edwardsville announced its new Bike Rack Grant program, which seeks to create more availability for public bicycle parking.

This program—approved in July—was proposed by Edwardsville's Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee, whose purpose is to resolve problems and ensure safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. They hope this program will provide convenience, as well as an alternative to driving for residents.

According to the city, businesses and nonprofits can apply for a grant of up to $925 to cover the costs of buying and installing bicycle racks made for the public.

The city looks to award up to five grants while funding lasts.
