The news is already all over the internet, but this is one of those stories that BeyondDC just has to cover: The first 100 DC locations for Capital Bikeshare stations were announced today by DDOT. They join the initial set of Arlington stations announced a few days ago.
There are stations in all eight wards, but the biggest cluster is in the central city. Here’s a map:
Corrected map of Capital Bikeshare stations in central DC.
For the preliminary version that was slightly different, click here.
One thing I notice is that there’s no station at Farragut Square. That seems like a major omission, but otherwise the spread seems to be pretty good. I get a station less than a block from my home.
In related news, the official Capital Bikeshare website is now live, although for the time being there isn’t much content.
Update #1: The Google Maps version now shows a station at Farragut Square. Not sure whether it was always supposed to be there, or was moved this morning. Maybe BeyondDC’s tweet did the trick (probably not). ~ 11:45 a.m.Update #2: The original map was apparently a preliminary version. DDOT will be making an official announcement and posting the corrected final map later today. GGW has the scoop. – 12:24 p.m.
Update #3: DDOT has posted the corrected map. I’ve edited the above post to include the correct version. – 4:30 p.m.
