60-Station Bike Share System in Planning Stages for St. Louis | nextSTL
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
With the Great Rivers Greenway release of the Bike Share Study Report to the Community, it appears that St. Louis is poised to join the dozens of American cities investing in a transportation network with more choices for more people. The 116-page comprehensive report (below) outlines a two-year roll out of 60 stations with 540 bikes, with 30 additional stations and 250 bikes to follow.
Phase I would be concentrated on the central corridor, from Downtown to The Loop. A second phase envisions expansion to include the near south and near north sides, as well as downtown Clayton. A third phase would expand further north and south, and follow the MetroLink Blue Line in St. Louis County. The cumulative bike and station implementation costs are estimated at $12.4M-$13.7M, or approximately the cost of rebuilding 1/4mi of I-64 in the city. The feasibility study anticipates 217,000 bike trips using the system in its first year of operation.
