Divvy Bikes Coming To Beverly: Where Should They Put Stations?

CHICAGO — The divvy bikes that Chicagoans on the north side and downtown have come to know over the past several years will soon make their way to the Far South Side, including Beverly, after an agreement to add more than 2,000 bikes to an expansion area that covers 15 square miles.

Neighborhoods that will see the bikes as early as this fall and winter include Beverly, Morgan Park, Roseland, Pullman, Auburn Gresham, Chatham and Washington Heights, according to the Chicago Streetsblog.

In this area, 30 new stations with about 17 bikes per station will be added. But Divvy has not announced the locations of the stations and is always taking suggestions online here.

Suggestions made on the site so far include having ones near every Metra station in the neighborhood and several along Western Avenue. Other possibilities mentioned include having one at Beverly Park and another in the heart of North Beverly next to Christ the King and Kellogg schools.

Streetsblog reported that station location suggestions will be part of the process of making the final selection of station sites.
