The Milwaukee Public Market will start catering more to bicyclists, with a sheltered parking area along North Broadway.
Some of the initial work has started, including the installation of a roof on the east side of the market building.
On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Common Council unanimously approved the proposal to use a portion of the sidewalk on Broadway for the racks that will accommodate two-dozen bikes.
David Ware, the facility manager for the public market, said the enthusiasm for biking in the area had prompted the addition.
A temporary repair shop proved popular last year as part of the outdoor market, and the nearby Café Benelux has been a popular stop for people pedaling two wheels. The expanded bike parking will make the market more attractive for those biking customers, Ware said.
