I love bike share. I think it’s a fantastic idea and a great way to make NYC more sustainable, healthy, and livable for residents and visitors alike.
This past Monday, NYC announced that Citibank is the main sponsor for the system. And while I think it’s cute to call “The City’s” bike share “citibike”, I have some reservations.
I’m excited! I want Bike Share! 72% of New Yorkers agree with me according to Quinnipiac University. This week at the Center for Architecture, an exhibit opened showcasing the new Bike Share system coming to New York City in July, with 10,000 bikes at 600 hubs across Manhattan and North West Brooklyn.
We all want to live next door to a bike share station, according to Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, with over 70,000 requests for hub locations. These suggestions have been recorded online and at meetings with the community, with over 50 public meetings and 23 demonstration sites/open houses, you could argue this is a very community focused initiative.
