The Calgary Parking Authority Centennial Parkade bike lockup is heated and indoor, but it only holds 15 bikes. They've just oversold it by one unit as well. Openings are rare - I waited two years before I got one. They don't have a waiting list either. You just have to keep popping into their office in the Centennial Parkade and ask. Sometimes you get lucky. The City Centre parkade on 10th (the backside of the Gulf Canada Square parkade) is secure but not heated.

A bylaw, that is!  Or the City should provide some kind of incentive such as property tax reductions or something...

There is a Bike cage in the Palliser parkade (access off 10th Ave). It is $100.00 a year and there are usually about 10 bikes in there, with capacity for about 50.

Nice way to utilize lost space:

I'll try to get the results of this survey once it's complete... would be nice to get some feedback.

hopefully you don't mind taking a few moments to complete it.

thanks.

See the results of the bike survey below, if you know anyone who would be able to offer more input please send the link from before on to them. There were 29 responses at the time of this posting. The biggest challenge so far seems to be the price that seems reasonable to pay for secure parking versus what it would cost to, for example, rent a car space and put a locker in it do not come close to each other. Responses welcome. Cheers!

Edit for formatting, the last one wasn't supposed to be published...fail.

Responses omitted due to length.

I just foudn out today that the yearly fee for the Palliser South bike cage went up from $100 to $160. Does anybody else think that is getting steep? I know they added another cage since last year, but looking over this thread, the new fee seems high. Can anybody else comment on their facility's 2013 fees?

I just paid $100 this past September for a full-year of inside covered secured bike cage parking, and this is in a new building.  I think $160 is well well above average for Calgary and would question what else it might include?  I would certainly encourage active discussion/disagreement with your building manager over the fee.  Last thing we want is this spreading to other buildings!!
