The following information about the bike racks installed in the Springfield Historic District is from the Springfield Preservation and Revitalization (visit link) October 23, 2014 Community Meeting Notes:

"Lastly, Forge 3D presented their winning submission for new artistic bicycle racks to be installed throughout the Historic District. The design imitates the classic Penny-farthing bicycle design and will be made of iron with powder coating. Eight racks will be installed at locations to be announced, in a variety of colors. SPAR partnered with the Cultural Council of Jacksonville to facilitate the bike rack design contest, and the racks themselves are being funded by a $5,000 grant from Wells Fargo, in partnership with Operation New Hope and LISC Jacksonville. The racks should start be installed within the next 2 months."
