DOT set to expand Brooklyn Citi Bike stations, add new ones
From brooklyneagle.com
To meet increased Citi Bike usage and expected demand, the city Department of Transportation plans to install 618 additional docks at 28 existing bike stations within Brooklyn Community District 2, which includes Downtown Brooklyn and adjacent neighborhoods such as Brooklyn Heights, the Brooklyn Navy Yard area, DUMBO, Fort Greene and Boerum Hill.
The move is part of an ongoing expansion of Citi Bike. Last year, Mayor Bill de Blasio, the Department of Transportation and Lyft announced a five-year expansion of the city’s Citi Bike program to double the size of the service area and increase the system fleet to 40,000 bikes.
