Nostrand Ave - Atlantic Ave - Pacific St

Atlantic is in dire need of safety interventions to be safe for cyclists, but one location for a dock would be the southeast corner of Nostrand and Atlantic, on Nostrand in front of the grocery store, since bus lanes are on the west side. It should also have bike lanes replacing the parking, which Nostrand is too busy and too narrow to accommodate.

Lincoln Rd - Ocean Ave - Flatbush Ave

Right outside the subway/bus and next to the park entrance

Parkside Ave - Ocean Ave - Parkside Court

The southeast corner of Prospect Park is a slam dunk. In terms of placement, within the turf I recommend a bulb-out of the sidewalk on Parkside Ave in front of the subway entrance. Another alternative would be across Ocean Ave at the entrance of the park itself.

Nostrand Ave - Fulton St - Herkimer St

Fulton and Nostrand needs a dock. The local bus dwells for a long time as people transfer, and the opposite side of the street is often occupied by informal cabs. Unfortunately the "turfing out" of the Citibike expansion limits where I can place the pin, but the southeast corner of Fulton and Nostrand is perhaps as good a location as any. Bus riders exiting the Queens-bound trains could take the western exit, and Citibike riders the eastern.

Utica Ave - Bergen St - St Marks Ave

A dock at the east side of Utica between St Marks and Bergen would physically deter the officers at this precinct from parking illegally on the sidewalk, which Streetview shows they have done continuously for the past decade. An alleged officer at the precinct attempted to incite a massacre of nonviolent protestors over the precinct radio last year (source: https://www.insider.com/nypd-scanner-broadcasts-calls-to-shoot-and-run-over-protesters-2020-6), which though not strictly germane to dock placement, can be raised in response to any of Precinct 77's objections. If they really are concerned with public safety, they can produce the disciplinary records against that alleged officer.

Eastern Parkway - Schenectady Ave - Utica Ave

Textbook case of unmet demand. Packed buses, dollar vans, and informal cab dispatchers everywhere. 4 trains coming into Franklin are already half full. Utica doesn't just need Citibike, it needs a subway and a crosstown light rail for good measure. I've dropped the pin on the mirror to the Franklin dock. Make it as big as you can get away with.

Brooklyn Ave - Sterling Pl - St Johns Pl

Potential alternative to St Johns and Brooklyn if local opposition proves too strong. Others have proposed mid-block on St. Johns which could also work.

Wide sidewalk between bike lanes on Lincoln and Maple

Nostrand Ave - St Johns Pl - Lincoln Pl

Others are suggesting St. John's, but I feel Lincoln is stronger. There is a major bus stop (both SBS and local, nominally called St. John's but really closer to Lincoln) and it could act as capacity relief for the subway station a block south.

Proximity to subway, SBS bus service, and playground/school
