Hubway launching new Boston stations this week
Boston’s public cycling system is getting a little more robust this week, with the city adding 11 new Hubway stations inside city limits.
The new stations began rolling out late last week, and so far three are up and running. Their locations:
• At West Broadway and D Street in Southie;
• At Seaver Street and Humboldt Avenue, at Franklin Park in Roxbury;
• On Huntington Avenue, between Ruggles and Vancouver Streets, near Wentworth Institute of Technology.
Eight more are coming by the end of this week, according to the website of the city’s cycling program, Boston Bikes. They are spread across the city, with locations at:
• Blue Hill Avenue and Franklin Park Road, at the Franklin Park Zoo;
• Dorchester Avenue and Harbor View Street in Dorchester;
• Main Street and Eden Street in Charlestown;
• Bunker Hill Community College in Charlestown, near Austin Street;
• Nashua Street and Martha Road, near North Station;
• Cambridge and Washington streets, near Brighton Center;
• Brock and Washington streets in Brighton;
• The Lawn on D in the Seaport District.
The city is also planning on four more stations, but those stations are waiting on permitting or construction issues to be resolved. When they’re ready, they will be located at:
• The Troy Boston development in the South End;
• Liberty Wharf in the Seaport;
• Savin Hill in Dorchester;
• Heath Street and South Huntington Avenue in Jamaica Plain.
Once all 15 new stations are installed, the city will have 106 in its boundaries, and there will be 155 system-wide (Hubway is also in Cambridge, Somerville, and Brookline). Hubway spokesman Benjy Kantor said Cambridge is also planning to add new stations, but there is not a definite timeline for that yet.
Through August, Hubway riders across the region had taken 720,000 trips this year, Kantor said. In 2014, for the full calendar year, riders took nearly 1.2 million trips.
