Get ready to ride: 17 new Bublr Bikes stations installed around the City of Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE --  Seventeen new Bublr Bikes stations have been installed around the City of Milwaukee, more than doubling the 11 bike sharing stations already in place.

The new stations are the result of partnerships between the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works, Bublr Bikes, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The 17 additional stations will extend Bublr Bikes’ presence to new locations north, south and west of current bike share stations. The new sites include:

The City received a $1.6 million federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) grant to install approximately 30 new Bublr Bike share stations in 2015 and 2016. Twelve of the new stations are funded with CMAQ dollars. The five remaining stations are funded privately by Bublr Bikes, which is operating the UWM-area stations through an investment of student segregated fees approved by the Student Senate.
