Hubway to Reopen Three Stations on Beacon Hill

Despite the snow, the system should undergo a "full launch" the first or second week of April.

There’s still snow on the ground and it still feels like the dead of winter, but in anticipation of warmer days ahead, Hubway is starting to roll out its rental bikes across Boston and Cambridge.  

Bicycles will be available throughout the Hubway bike sharing system the first or second week of April, according to Nicole Freedman, director of bicycle programs for the city of Boston.

Three of these stations will be on Beacon Hill: at Charles Circle, by the T stop; on Cambridge Street in front of the Charles River Plaza Shopping Center; and just off the Esplanade at Beacon Street and Storrow Drive.

Thirty to 50 stations will be reopened throughout Boston leading up to the April full system launch, Freedman said. The system now stretches from Davis Square in Somerville to Brighton to the University of Massachusetts.
