There is a new chicken coop going in at the Grosvenor-Strathmore metro station. I think suburban farming is a great idea and look forward to being able to pick up a dozen fresh eggs on the way home from work.
Oh, maybe I got a few details wrong. They are putting in a Bike & Ride facility that will securely house 100 bikes. You'll be able to park your bike out of the rain and snow and have it locked up. There are currently bike racks which have a roof over them on site, but this will be more secure and more attractive.
In the tone of urban planning, this is the bikeshed, the view of the area around the bike shed (the building that will contain the bikes). Would it be bike shedding to ask what color it will be painted? (Ok, for you pedants out there, I know I am mis-defining this term multiple times, I find it amusing.)
This secure bike building includes a solid roof and wire mesh walls, as well as two doors. It still looks like a chicken coop to me.
