As we found out last fall, Citi Bike is finally coming to Greenpoint and northern Williamsburg, as part of its Phase II expansion, and now we have a sense of where exactly the bike share stations will be located. Brooklyn Paper obtained a copy of the map from the DOT, and it appears that 53 Citi Bike stations will be added to the area, which is fantastic news for G train sufferers. Here's the map:

It's unclear when the new stations will debut; the DOT and Citi Bike have not responded to our requests for more information. UPDATE: Citi Bike spokesperson Dani Simons says, "This map reflects DOT's recommended station locations for Citi Bike's expansion Williamsburg and Greenpoint this year. The map is based on feedback received via dozens of community meetings in these neighborhoods."
Brooklyn Paper acquired the map from Community Board 1, and reports that they'll be installed by the end of the year. But BP also notes that "not everyone in Greenpoint is excited by the arrival of the blue bikes." One resident feels the streets are already too busy, telling the paper, "There are too many bikes around here as it is, and everything is bike lanes. It is bad enough that you have to look out for cars, but now you have to look out for bikes, too." Next you'll have to look out for llamas, too. Where does it end?
Following a $30 million cash infusion from an investment group last year, Citi Bike plans to double in size by 2017. By the end of 2017, the bike share program intends to expand from al 330 stations and 6,000 bikes to more than 700 stations and 12,000 bikes. In addition to Greenpoint and North Williamsburg, the next expansion areas include the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side.
Future Citi Bike stations will also roll out in Harlem, Astoria, Long Island City, Bushwick, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Red Hook, Gowanus, and a larger portion of Bed-Stuy.
