UPPER EAST SIDE — The city will present plans to install nine new Citi Bike stations across the neighborhood at a Community Board meeting on Wednesday.
The Department of Transportation plans to double the size of its program, from 6,000 to 12,000 bikes by 2017, to ensure "that a Citi Bike station is always close at hand, providing a more robust, reliable service," city officials have said.
Currently there are roughly two dozen stations scattered across the Upper East Side.
The new Citi Bike stations will be located in the 60s and 70s and along Third and Madison avenues, according to CB8's transportation committee meeting agenda for Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m.
The DOT also plans on reducing the size of seven kiosks at First, Third and East End avenues and along streets in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

► The north side of 65th Street, mid-block between Second and Third avenues
