NEW YORK CITY — Citi Bike will unveil new docking stations in Sunnyside, Elmhurst, Rego Park, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens along Queens Boulevard and its surrounding areas starting Spring 2018, officials announced Thursday.
The expansion will consist of 140 new stations containing 2,000 bikes in those neighborhoods, fulfilling the city's earlier pledge to more than double the size of the bike-share network by the end of this year.
Construction of the new stations will begin on Oct. 2, starting first by Long Island City, where Citi Bike is already in place, then in Sunnyside going east along Queens Boulevard, a Department of Transportation spokesman said. Stations will be activated the same day they're installed, with all 140 expected to come online by the end of June 2017, he added.
The DOT will be monitoring the sites as they become operational and will make adjustments if needed, the spokesman said.
"More than just adding neighborhoods to the bike share network, Citi Bike is also bringing more bikes and stations to already established neighborhoods," DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg said in a statement.
