great location, between a school and subway stop. Also the bus runs on this street.
Great place for Citi bike. Wide sidewalk. Close proximity to High Density Housing, School and bus stop.
Bike lane allows for safer riding here and it connects to High school.
At the crossing of two roads with bike lanes. Would be useful to anyone riding east/west to park across PLG or north/south.
along an existing bike lane that's safe to drive down (I ride down in often). Ideal to have them all along Bedford Ave to connect north with other neighborhood citibikes. This allows easier PLG - Crown Heights - Williamsburg travel where trains don't do it much good.
Place the citibike rack either across the street of the park entrance or on the park side of the park entrance. it's a popular entry point and a citibike here would be very useful. Especially if combined with a bike rack on Ocean/Parkside Ave. Would create vertical network to drive between racks up the park. Beware that the building side of the street (across from the park entrance) is very busy with busses, pedestrians, and others, so have to think through how to avoid unsafe rider conditions.
I've chosen Nostrand & Eastern Parkway as an example, but you should place Citibike locations in front of *every* subway station entrance. It's the best way to make them useful for people who commute! Not just in Brooklyn, either - in every borough!
Citibike rack at entrance of park. Could be placed either on park side or across the st on building side. The building side has 3 squares of side walk so should be able to put a bike rack and retain 2 squares for pedestrians to pass. If you place on the park side, that could be convenient and safer for cyclists since they won't have to cross the st to get into the park. However, the park side sidewalks are very poorly maintained, making it less than ideal to ride your citibike on. Either way, a citibike rack on this spot would be ideal.
Citibike station should be in proximity to this Q stop. Near park entrance and station. However, cyclists would have to use pedestrian crossings to cross the st to get to the park which isn't ideal for safety purposes since intersection is very busy. The bikes should ideally be put across the st at the entrance of the park. Those who want to use the citibikes will cross the st per usual and take off with the bikes down parkside ave or through the park or wherever. Similarly, those riding bikes can dock at the station in the park entrance, cross the st to catch a train.
The south side of the park needs more stations!
