Who would this be targeting? This is an increasingly busy area. To the north of Chelsea Piers is a beautiful segment of Hudson River Park, which includes the skating park, the frying pan, and the community sailing pier. To the south is Google’s new HQ, City Winery, and the rooftop of Pier 57. Chelsea Piers itself, of course, has ample activities–most of which are tailored to active individuals, completely in line with Citi bike’s target demographics. People come from around the city to use the facilities here, despite the limited transportation options. Providing additional bike options for the gym goers and park goers will considerably contribute to your usage along the West Side Highway. Where are Stations Currently? On the West Side Highway, the closest Citi bike stations are Pier 81 and Pier 40 which are both over a mile from Chelsea Piers. While there are closer stations on 10th Ave, they are ¼ mile away across two highly trafficked avenues. Where should the docking station be located? While we would be glad to donate space on premises (e.g. in our garage at Pier 60), a more accessible long-term solution is at the east end of Pier 62, at our north end near the skating park and bus stop. People coming from/going to the north would find it easily. The Chelsea Piers Team is in favor of and would gladly support this initiative.
