That Post article made it sound like the equipment was supposed to arrive from the supplier in November, not necessarily be installed in November and November’s not even over yet. Seems a bit early to complain about timeline.
That was just the most recent timeline. Some of these stations were originally scheduled for 2013, I believe. I know it’s not Arlington’s fault. They weren’t responsible for the Bixi bankruptcy, but it’s still mildly frustrating to have the lengthy delays.
The new stations won’t actually affect/benefit me that much, since there are already plenty of bike stations in my area. I’m actually more interested in the DC expansion, even though I haven’t been commuting to downtown DC that much this fall. I just like the idea of new bike stations in general. More places where I could potentially check out a CaBi bike on a whim. That and I still remember all the mornings that I’ve ridden to downtown DC to find all the stations completely full.
