Menards Saint Paul: C+
When you need some weather stripping and an intimate piano performance, you get front door parking under an overhang in case of precipitation. The utility, on the other hand, I don’t know what to call this. Hope for an open end spot.

(A second opinion rating! Because there are no rules here.) Merriam Park Library: C+
The racks are about 3 inches too close to the brick wall and I always have to lift my bike into position, which is a struggle with a heavier e-bike. But I love their books and roll-by drop off 📚

Lunds & Byerly’s Ford Pkwy: A-
Good space and utility for all bike types, at the front door, never at capacity. But I feel like they could have easily placed these inside the parking garage for more security and weather protection.

Saint Paul License Bureau- Transfer Rd. (F) I couldn’t even find a gas meter so I had to disrespect this piece of art. There are parking signs you could use if you love risk. But this is the fastest service you’ll ever find!

Chuck & Don’s Ford Pkwy (D) but the employees are awesome and have always let me roll inside. Best outside option is around the corner at Allina’s front door (B) only one rack, cargo friendly, with regular foot traffic. There are good racks across the lot (C) but it’s a ghost town there, zero eyes.

Bandana Square: “A” for the East side entrance. Right next to the entrance, tons of space both around and between each rack to accommodate cargo bikes (front loader may need to back in). I’ve never seen them close to full. And the shape offers options.
