Southwark Council will replace 105 parking spaces with 147 new e-bike and e-scooter bays.
The council said it would “discourage bikes being abandoned on pavements” and “contribute meaningfully” to lower carbon emissions.
The impact on carers and vulnerable people will be “negligible” given Southwark currently has 23,284 parking spaces across 2,000 streets, a council report said.
Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Climate Emergency, Clean Air & Streets, said: “The increase in parking bays for e-bikes and e-scooters is good news for local people who are increasingly opting for sustainable transport options.
“By improving the infrastructure for e-bike parking, as per our Streets for People strategy, we hope to discourage bikes being abandoned on pavements and also contribute meaningfully to a reduction in carbon emissions that supports our borough’s aim to reach net zero emissions by 2030.”
Southwark currently has 82 bays for e-scooters and e-bikes – a figure that will rise to 229.
The cost of installation is £200,000 and will be funded using parking fees and fines.
Southwark is one of several London boroughs participating in e-scooter and e-bike trials.
The trials allow people to hire the vehicles in Southwark while TfL collects data on their usage.
Residents sometimes complain that e-bikes and e-scooters are nuisances for pedestrians – prompting one Peckham pensioner to plaster the offending vehicles in tongue-in-cheek signs.
In September, angry residents spoke out after a retirement home’s ambulance bay was mistakenly replaced by spaces for e-bikes and e-scooters.
Southwark Council has told the News it fines operators – like Tier, Dott and Lime – when discarded vehicles obstruct pavements.
