Provide a functional entry and/or bicycle storage within a 600-foot (180-meter) walking distance or cycling distance of a bicycle network that meets the following criteria:
-
Is a contiguous network that spans a distance of at least 3 miles (4,800 meters)
-
Consists of bicycle paths, lanes, or multiuse trails that are at least 8 feet (2.5 meters) wide for a two-way path and at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) wide for a one-way path, or streets with a maximum speed limit of 25 mph (40 kph). Sidewalks where local code permits bicycles are acceptable
Planned bicycle trails or lanes may be counted if they are fully funded by the end of the 12month reporting period and are scheduled for completion within three years of that date.

BICYCLE STORAGE
Provide short-term bicycle storage within a 600-foot (180-meter) walking distance to any main entrance but no fewer than four storage spaces per building.
Provide long-term bicycle storage within a 300-foot (90-meter) walking distance from any functional entry but no fewer than four storage spaces per building, in addition to the short-term bicycle storage spaces.
Points are awarded according to Table 1.
Shared micromobility storage, bicycle sharing stations, and/or publicly available bicycle parking may be counted for up to 50% of the required short-term and long-term storage space if it meets the maximum allowable walking distance and is not double counted (i.e., the short-term and the long-term storage spaces are counted separately). The storage location is communicated to the building occupants and visitors.
