If you hadn’t heard, a bike-share program launched in several Chicago neighborhoods in late June. The Chicago Department of Transportation program, Divvy, will eventually have 4,000 bikes available for use 24 hours a day at 400 locations citywide by 2014, with 300 stations and 3,000 bikes by the end of this summer.
In less than a month, the program stats are impressive:
- Over 50,000 trips taken to date
- Over 3,100 Annual Members
- Over 14,000 24-Hour Pass Holders
- Over 175,000 miles traveled (that’s over 7 trips around the Earth!)
Now the program is coming to Humboldt Park. The station, scheduled to be installed by July 29th, will be located on North Avenue & Campbell and will include 15 docks. Nearby stations in Logan Square also due to be installed will be located at California & Palmer with 15 docks, and Stave Street & Armitage with 11 docks.
