They seriously are waiting until now to plan this? I’ve got a bad feeling on this, but I really hope it succeeds! This sort of planning could have been going on for about a year now.

Their twitter feed makes it seem like these suggestions are for phase 2, not this phase, of the station rollout.

I agree, this seems so late in the game for asking the public for input. They also don’t seem to have the website up and running yet, just the inquiry map. How can we register for Hubway if they don’t have a functioning website?
I am VERY supportive of this program yet am struggling to see any action behind it. Lets hope for a nice surprise.

just as a note on the Hubway system … if it’s like the Montreal Bixi then the bike racks are designed to be truck portable so the stations themselves can be deployed and re-deployed more or less on the fly to address demand and usage. So the fact that research on where to put the racks seems a little late isn’t alarming.
The fact that the news on the Hubway has been “aaaaaaaaaaaaany day now …” for, like, the last year is maybe more of a concern.

Cambridge. That’s where we need Hubway stops.
