Every Boston neighborhood to get a Bluebikes station, Wu says
Transportation
The plan will take just over a year to complete, a statment from the city said.
A Bluebikes station is coming to a street near you, Mayor Michelle Wu says.
The mayor announced a new citywide plan to install 100 new Bluebikes stations across every neighborhood in Boston on Monday. The planned expansion will meet rising demand and increase reliability of the bike share system, the city’s Streets Cabinet said in a statement.
The city will execute the plan in phases, the statement said. The first phase, planned for this fall, will add stations in Beacon Hill, Chinatown, Downtown, North End, South End, Wharf District, and the West End. The second phase involves installing bike share stations in Charlestown, East Boston, South Boston, and the Seaport.
“Investing in our regional bike share program is a key component to Boston reaching its transportation goals,” said Jascha Franklin-Hodge, Chief of Streets for the City of Boston. “We are focused on improving the reliability of Bluebikes and ensuring residents have easy access to bike share in every neighborhood.”
Bluebikes announced they would offer free rides to commuters during the Red Line shutdown last month. The BlueBike initiative originally launched in 2011 with just 600 bikes. Now, the city says there are 450 stations and 4,000 bikes across Greater Boston.
