PARK SLOPE — Cyclists will have to wait a bit longer to find out when Citi Bike is coming to the neighborhood.
Department of Transportation officials were scheduled to update Community Board 6 on Thursday on the bike share program's rollout in the area, but the meeting has been postponed, DOT spokesman Gastel said.
Gastel said DOT asked CB6 to reschedule the meeting because DOT is still ironing out some details around the rollout. The DOT plans to present the update next month, Gastel said, without elaborating on which details need further tweaking.
Fans of two-wheeled travel have been anticipating Citi Bike's arrival in Brooklyn since 2014, when Citi Bike announced that it was doubling its fleet of bikes and docking stations.
Citi Bike gathered input from locals on where the new docking stations should go in late summer 2015, then unveiled a list of a 62 locations in CB6, which includes Park Slope, Gowanus, Carroll Gardens and Red Hook.
DOT officials didn't specify exactly when the rollout would happen when it was announced, saying only that new docking stations would appear in 2016 and that the expansion was expected to be finished by 2017.
Local cyclists are eager to hop on the blue bikes.
Eagerly awaiting the promised @citibike expansion to Park Slope. Haven't seen an update lately. When are the bikes coming?
