Franchise fees could go toward building out infrastructure such as bike lanes, officials said.

Hang on to your helmet: Dallas could have bike-share regulations by May.

That ordinance, being prepared by transportation officials and city attorneys, will cover franchise fees, parking requirements and other rules of the road.

White said the franchise fees could go toward building out infrastructure such as bike lanes. The parking guidelines would include "where the bikes can be parked, how long can they sit and how long when we get a 311 call do they have to address it," he said.
