@DavidM_yeg @Daveography Required bike parking is part of the new Edmonton zoning by-law (the mega by-law from 2024):

I don't know when it's expected to start being enforced, but I assume that, at least at first, it will only apply to new builds (maybe it already does?).
Under the by-law, most commercial, community, and health care facilities must provide at least 2 bike parking spots, with the amount scaling up with facility size. However, they can ask permission to count city-maintained bike parking, if it's close enough. (And businesses can already ask the city to provide sidewalk bike racks, so I assume that will be the default way to meet the requirements on commercial streets with no parking lots per business.)
Apartment buildings with more than 9 units will also be required to provide at least 1 bike parking spot per unit, most of which must be long-term secure parking.
There are also minimum requirements for bike rack size & structure.
