Some lovely ideas about cycle parking from NL especially cantilevered
over canal (could equally be road or railway in at lower level in
wall-sided cutting). I have worked with Streetsure (UK) on design of
cycle parking for the cantilever design, which requires only 80cm width
of platform to park 1 bike every 80cm (linear). Drop me a direct e-mail
for further detail - this system can also be used along a wall face or
fence, and requires no drilling/holes in pavement (useful if there is a
cellar below)

Green cladding is nice touch - plant life takes in COx and NOx to
convert to nutrients, foliage filters out particulates, latent heat of
evaporation regulates temperature, can also attenuate sound and rainfall
run-off, and used cleverly can act as sun blind for keeping direct
sunlight out in summer (heating up; buildings through windows, and hard
landscaping features), and also incorporate scent and berries (for birds)
