Citi Bike Launches Expansion Project to Stretch Network to Top of Central Park

CENTRAL PARK, NY — Grabbing a Citi Bike to ride through Central Park will be easier by the end of 2016. The bike share program launched its 2016 expansion program — which will add more than 50 new stations on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side — Monday, August 1.

The expansion project will expand the reach of Citi Bike up to 110th street, which means that riders will be able to grab a bike anywhere from the bottom to top of Central Park.

Two new stations — at West 87 Street and Amsterdam Avenue and at East 88th Street and 5th Avenue — have already been completed as of Monday.
