👎 Negative
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↓ hurts grade
Mandating reports that recommend moving low-usage bike-share stations to higher-demand areas risks pulling service from underserved neighborhoods, reducing coverage, equity, and first/last‑mile access. This likely suppresses mode shift and safety-in-numbers where it’s most needed while shifting responsibility from infrastructure improvements to users.

👎 Negative
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↓ hurts grade
Tying reports to recommendations to relocate low-usage bike-share stations pushes assets from underserved or emerging areas to already high-demand zones, undermining equitable coverage, mode shift, and safety-in-numbers benefits. Any localized ridership gains are likely outweighed by system-wide reductions in access and growth potential for pedestrians and cyclists outside core areas.
