February 27, 20122 Comments on San Jose bike share
It appears the Bay Area bike share project may finally become reality this year. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is piloting a bike share program for San Francisco, which will have about 500 bikes at 50 stations, Redwood City (10 stations), Palo Alto (10 stations), Mountain View (10 stations) and San Jose (20 stations).
BAAQMD published a request for proposals (RFP) a little while back. Vendors have until March 8 to submit their proposals. A winning bid will be selected sometime in April or so, and the winning bidder will supposedly install 1000 bikes at 100 locations across five cities for a grand opening by July 1. Good luck with that.
I’ve mapped out the proposed locations for San Jose bike share kiosks for your benefit, perusal and discussion.
