Where was the public input and discussion on this? How were people supposed to say what they wanted and how they would use the program?
If you go here: http://madison.bcycle.com/
You can see a google map of the station locations.
It’s not bad for a 1st pass. The near east side (Atwood area) could use a couple of locations and the Monroe Street area could use a couple.
There are some busy bus stops that ought to be considered (U.W. Engineering Bldg, for example).
One big weakness: Nothing on State Street. They definitely need to add 3 stations along State Street…
It will be interesting to see how well this can be integrated with the Metro bus service.
At least they substantially reduced the city’s subsidy. I guess that Euro-junket wasn’t such a good investment after all, as the grateful recipients have both left office.
Will – Looks like there are at least two on/near State St.:
13. Hawthorne Ct. & State St.
