Bike Racks and Benches for City of Bastrop

 
 
 
This project will include designing and building six custom bike racks for the City of Bastrop TX.  These racks are part of a Bastrop City program to encourage non-vehicle traffic in downtown Bastrop.  The racks will emulate the old iron bridge over the Colorado river going into Bastrop.  This bike racks will emulate the old iron bridge over the Colorado river going into Bastrop.  This concept was initiated by the Bastrop Mayor and the Rotary Club of Bastrop County offered to design and build these bike racks.  The bike racks should be useful for many years and provide an indication of the relevance of Rotary to our community.  A probable follow on project will be to design and build some benches for City parks.  
 
An additional benefit of this project to provide learning experiences related to meaningful careers for young adults.  One young man working on this project is a winner of a District Career and Technical Education (CTE) competitive scholarship.   Two other young adults working on this picture are also learning valuable career skills leveraging upon technology.  This project involves a partnership with Texas State Technical College.
