While I am in favor of more docking stations, this intersection is extremely congested as is and a docking station would make matters worse. One block over on East 17th, or two blocks over on E 16th and Church would be much better locations. This intersection honestly needs loading zones in addition to the bus lanes to curb double-parking. A scramble crossing or something like it would probably be useful here too, but that is the topic of a different survey
Location is close to the Church Ave subway, a very busy business and transit hub, without being in the midst of the enormous amount of foot traffic and sidewalk commerce going on in the church Ave/ East 18th St intersection (which is arguably a poor location for a docking station). Placing a docking station on a corner by a crosswalk also discourages cars from parking too close to cross walks and endangering pedestrians by blocking the view.
Location is close to Beverly Road station (and Cortelyou) providing a good transit link. This stretch of Beverly Road is also a bike route. Many cyclists choose to use Marlborough to take streets with somewhat less car traffic to get to the bike lanes by and surrounding Prospect Park
Location is one block from the Beverly stop on a high-foot-traffic, very population-dense street. The sidewalk here is much wider and less crowded than the area immediately next to the subway station. People parking too close to the crosswalk thus impeding visibility also tends to be problem here, which a strategically placed docking station would fix.
Obviously there should be citi bikes at ALL prospect park exits
Ton of huge buildings right on Flatbush/ Lenox- would be good for folks to access them
On the sidewalk by the park with a traffic light
Corner church on sidewalk
Big sidewalk space
Makes sense to have bikes in this area
