DOT reports the CityRacks program is slowly picking up pace. In June, 57 racks were installed, bringing the total number of racks on the street to 650. The Department of Transportation's Office of Bicycle Program hopes to install 1692 racks between now and the new millennium and is still accepting suggested locations. This overdue push to get the racks out of storage and on the street is encouraging, as is the focus on locations in the outer boroughs and at subway connection points.

CityRacks: Hope Springs Eternal

From Transportation Alternatives Magazine, March/April 1999

With cities like Philadelphia having installed 3,000 bike racks over the past three years, one wonders why fewer than 1,000 have been installed in the Big Apple. Nevertheless, the DOT’s CityRacks program promises to hire a contractor by this spring to install nearly 1,700 bike racks already requested.
