The county is planning for 30 new stations in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor over the next year, and it is asking for public comment about the proposed locations at a meeting June 27 at 7 p.m. at the county office building.
“The response to Capital Bikeshare has been tremendous,” County Board Chairman Chris Zimmerman said, noting that nearby jurisdictions were now expressing interest in joining Arlington and the District in the program. “We’ve seen the kind of success it’s had in places like Paris and Montreal.”

“We’re a little bit more spread out than the District or Arlington, so that factor will limit our participation,” he said.
