Councilwoman Letitia James, D-Brooklyn, teamed up with Transportation Alternatives on Thursday to build on the previous "Building Bridges Bike Day" and to inform residents about the new NYC Bike Share initiative.
NYC Bike Share will comprise of 600 stations and 10,000 bikes in docking stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, with potential expansion to other boroughs.
A vocal supporter of the program, James has proposed potential docking stations at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene, in Grand Army Plaza, and at Medgar Evers College.
The day's outreach was focused at Lafayette Avenue and Fulton Street. The team spoke to cyclists and pedestrians of all ages about NYC Bike Share.
