Final Maps Released for Bike Share Program UES & UWS

Posted on by jjablkowski

NYC DOT conducted an extensive participatory planning and outreach campaign with local communities to select Citi Bike locations on the Upper East and Upper West Sides in late 2014 and early 2015. This process, per the program’s siting guidelines, included more than 50 meetings and events with Community Boards 7 and 8, local elected officials, area institutions, BIDs, and other community organizations. From public workshops to community presentations, DOT actively engaged with the community and listened to their concerns and comments.

After releasing draft station siting plans in May, NYC DOT did a comprehensive review of the hundreds of comments received from local stakeholders about proposed stations and as a result, DOT has relocated five stations between the draft and final versions of the plans. Below is the link to access the final station sites for Citi Bike in the Upper East and Upper West Side.

DOT anticipates that Motivate will install these stations as far north as 86th Street later this year, with the remaining stations in Manhattan Community Boards 7 and 8 to be installed by early 2016.

Expanding the Citi Bike program north to the Upper East and Upper West Sides creates a great new transit amenity, facilitating cross-town travel, short trips within the neighborhood, and connectivity to subways, buses, and the existing Citi Bike program south of 60th Street. NYC DOT is excited for the Bike Share program to expand and to have worked closely with the local stakeholders in the process.

Citi Bike is Expanding!

Posted on by jjablkowski

You’ve probably already heard the news: bike share is expanding to more boroughs! Back in October 2014, NYC DOT, Alta Bicycle Share and Citi Bike announced an agreement between New York City and Alta Bicycle Share to operate, improve, and double the size of the largest bike share program in North America.

The Citi Bike system, which will continue to be operated by NYC Bike Share, will be expanded from the current system of 330 stations and 6,000 bicycles to over 700 stations and 12,000 bicycles by the end of 2017! Citi Bike will stretch further into Brooklyn, into Harlem and bring bike share to Queens for the first time.

“We have worked hard these last ten months to get Citi Bike on track for the long-term,” said DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. “New Yorkers deserve a system that’s more reliable and convenient, that reaches more neighborhoods and that remains affordable. This new partnership puts bike share on solid footing, and today riders can have confidence that bike share is going to get bigger and better.”

Learn more about the announcement in the NYC DOT press release here.

Membership opens to daily and weekly users on June 2.

Whether you’re riding your own bike or a Citi Bike, remember the rules of the road:

  • Yield to pedestrians
  • Stay off the sidewalk
  • Obey traffic lights
  • Ride with traffic

 

Where You’ll See Bike Share Stations

Posted on by dotadmin

As CitiBike begins station installation around town, you’ll notice that they’re located in different places:

  1. At the edge of public parks
  2. In pedestrian plazas and privately-owned public spaces
  3. On wide sidewalks
  4. In curbside lanes, medians and other locations along the street

These locations were selected through an extensive public process and each community selected the locations that worked best for their needs. See some sample station locations here.
