A 15-dock bikeshare station is slated for the northwestern corner of South Dakota Avenue and Galloway Street NE. District Department of Transportation (DDOT) Bicycle Program Specialist Greg Matlesky was on the agenda for ANC Commissioner Gordon Fletcher’s (5A08) community meeting on September 21, 2021. His presentation was cut short due to technical issues.

In a follow-up email, Mr. Matlesky stated that DDOT hopes to install the new station sometime next year, but he said that supply chain issues are affecting bikeshare installations so DDOT cannot say for sure (and also their efforts right now are focused on replacing original installations from 2010 and 2011). He said they hope to have a full network of bikeshare stations along the South Dakota Avenue NE corridor within a year or two.
Next Stop...Riggs Park 
I like this corner because it is at the bus stop (the 80 bus), but is there a particular reason why they don’t envision it for the new library instead?
Have you heard of any updates about this new station?
Hi there, I reached out to DDOT. They said, “We are looking to install stations along the South Dakota Avenue NE corridor, including at South Dakota Avenue & Galloway Street NE, later this fall, but timelines may accelerate to the Summer if we get our stations earlier than expected.”
