New Citi Bike Stations In Prospect Heights And Crown Heights: Here's Where DOT Wants To Put Them

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — The New York City Department of Transportation on Tuesday presented a plan to install 17 new Citi Bike stations across parts of Prospect Heights and Crown Heights.

The DOT showed the plan to Community Board 8, which covers Prospect Heights and northern Crown Heights. The proposed stations start at Flatbush Avenue near Grand Army Plaza and dot the neighborhoods east to Rogers Avenue, the border of the city's current phase of bike share expansion.

Some of the spots are on existing sidewalks and others in roadbeds. The proposal was created after several community feedback sessions.

Each station will hold anywhere between 23 and 27 bikes, the DOT told the community meeting, according to DNA Info.

The proposal is not final, and residents are encouraged to give their feedback to the DOT or by contacting Community Board 8.

See the presentation the DOT gave below (you'll have to scroll near the end to see maps of the proposed stations).
