Eau Claire (WQOW) - The effort to make Eau Claire more bicycle-friendly has momentum.

Monday night, the Eau Claire Plan Commission recommended a new ordinance about bike parking.  The proposal would require new site plans, that come before the city, to include bike parking.  

The plan commission is recommending a few exceptions.  For example, if an applicant could prove there is absolutely no room on their site to include it. The other exception would be if a property owner had another building, with extra parking, within 500 feet of their new business. 

The city council will have the final say on the ordinance proposal.
