On the 39th Avenue sidewalk at the future park (corner of 50th St) and near the small retail center
This little triangle would be an idea area for a Citibike dock. - It is adjacent to several bus stops. - It is a short (2 minute) walk to the 61st Street 7-train station (and thus close enough to be convenient, but far enough to be an obstacle to commuters and traffic) - The space is ample enough to accomodate the dock as well as maintain the sitting areas for people. - This space is also very close to several schools (elementary, and high-schools), but far enough not to add strain to passersby. - Accessible Citibikes in this area would benefit MANY of the small businesses in the area, providing access to Citibike users that would have not otherwise been able to visit and explore this amazing community. - While parking in the area MIGHT be affected, Citibike here would encourage more people to ride a bike vs. drive. - Overall, Citibike in this area in general would add to the quality of life for many residents here.
This stretch of [continuous, uninterrupted] sidewalk between 70th Street and 73rd Street spans over the BQE, and thus has a long span that a perfect place for Citibike. - There is heavy foot-traffic in this area, thanks to 7 train stops on 69t and74th streets (which also happens to be the hub for the E, F, M and R trains), both only half a block away. - Not to mention, 74th street is also a major bus depot. - Furthermore, the span over the BQE is bare of any storefronts, providing ample room for 2 to 3 Citibike docks (maybe even more). - Given the constant and ongoing strain on public transportation in the area, and the high concentration of residents, Citibike in this spot would serve the people of the area VERY well. Thank you for the consideration.
Good location, close to Sunnyside Gardens
Great location, Close to subways
Great location, bike lane and Saturday Farmer's Market
The area in front of Sunnyside reformed church is always empty as far as I can see.
This section of 48th lies at a nexus of bike lanes; the protected lanes on Skillman and 43rd Aves, and the marked lanes on 48th st. Additionally, this section of sidewalk has no direct residential or business building attached to it, so would potentially be less disruptive to individual's parking plans
This section of Skillman Ave has no storefronts, so it doesn't get the occasional delivery traffic that other blocks do.
As an old person who would love to ride a bike, this is a welcome addition. I’ve seen this the bike racks executed at street level without touching a single bench or park court. Shorten the loading area across the street used only by the supermarket.
