New Bike Depot at the Summit Train Station

Better bike storage at the Summit train station!

 

Have you wished for a better way to park your bike at the train station? The bike boxes are fine, but this is better!

 

The Summit Conservancy, in cooperation with the New Jersey Bike & Walk Coalition and the City of Summit, is leading a community-wide effort to raise $20,000 to build the Bike Depot. Similar bike depots have been constructed in Montclair, Bloomfield, and Elizabeth. The planned Summit Conservancy Bike Depot will replace the existing, unattractive bike storage boxes, and will be so much more! It will be a walk-in facility that is lighted, secure, and dry. It will also have a repair stand and outlets for charging electric bikes.
