That's very bad for the trees, as well as bad for the bike-riders to have to do it.

Thanks for your request and for providing the context of the surrounding buildings. We will evaluate this location, let you know of our findings, and notify abutting property owners if racks will be installed. Please note that sites for bike racks can be limited on narrow sidewalks due to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirement that a sufficient walkway be left open for people with disabilities.
