Help Protect the Character of Bay Ridge – Say No to Excessive Citi Bike Stations

Bay Ridge is a peaceful, family-oriented neighborhood with:

• Tree-lined streets and single-family homes
• Limited street space and scarce parking
• A unique charm that makes it feel like a suburb within the city

The City’s Plan to Install 50 Citi Bike Stations Puts That at Risk:

• Too many stations for a residential  neighborhood
• Stations placed directly in front of single-family homes, schools, churches, and doctors’ offices
• Increased congestion and loss of parking
• Disruption to the character and safety of our streets

We support environmentally friendly transportation — but Bay Ridge does not need 50 Citi Bike stations. A limited number of stations along Shore Road and potentially between 4th Avenue subway stations and bus stops could serve transit needs without overwhelming our residential blocks — but even that must be thoughtfully reviewed.

Our Ask:

• Develop a more balanced, community-driven plan with far fewer stations in appropriate locations
• Or, remove Citi Bike from Bay Ridge entirely if a fair and respectful solution cannot be reached
• Eliminate stations that disrupt parking or compromise the privacy of single-family homes
