This is a growing community where we are so close to being able to navigate arlington and commute into DC, but with bus service being relatively limited and walking out of the question (too far), having a bike share to quickly get to the orange line corridor when we need to would significantly increase the value of this neighborhood!

Government needs to get out of the way between consumers and businesses. Subsidies for the Capital Bike Share program total more than $16 million. Why should government be doing this? Explain where an authoritarian entity should be able to decide winners and losers rather than letting free and voluntary association drive winners and losers.

Arlington has several neighborhoods that are nearly devoid of transit options. It seems to me that we should have an emphasis on providing bikeshare especially in these areas. For example, the region of South Arlington that is south of the Pike and north of Four Mile Run is in *dire* need of more connectivity. Please place a few stations along South Walter Reed drive to connect this transit desert with the major transit corridor on the Pike.

There are numerous commuters and families that live between Ballston and East Falls Church along the Westover/Virginia Hospital Center/East Falls Church sections that border the Custis Trail, 4 mile run trail, and the Washington & Old Dominion trail system. It would increase usage for these individuals and families to use the bike share system instead of driving. I highly recommend expanding the system into this area instead of some other stations in South Arlington.

This would provide an important link to the streetcar, and is of special concern and interest because it might not be easy or possible for us to put our own bikes on the streetcar. Also, because this is also at the intersection of Four Mile Run Drive and Columbia Pike, I believe it would get a lot of use. Many docks at that location would be helpful. Shirlington residents would also use it.

Offering electric bikes would expand the pool of potential users to include those that do not think of themselves as being fit, would help in climbing hills or biking when dress for business.

It makes sense to place Capital Bikeshare stations just outside the Metro. I've been frustrated at times to look for a station in DC that has a Metro name ie Capitol South, to then find out by going in circles around the Metro station that the bikeshare station is 3 blocks away. This is not fun late at night. So please make Arlington's stations OBVIOUS! We need them at ALL the Metro stops in Arlington.

You've done a great job building along the Orange Line corridor. You should continue that corridor by putting a station a little farther west in the Westover area. It's an ideal location with nice restaurants, a public library and some relatively dense residential development (apartments, single family homes on small lots). It's also very close to the Custis and W&OD trails.

The map has the greatest Bikeshare density along the public transit lines (e.g. Orange line), but does not provide available bikes to bring residents from their neighborhoods to the public transit lines. The gray areas on the map, many of which are fairly level for easy biking, will remain unserved by Bikeshare requiring the use of cars or other means to access the transit corridors.

Stop installing Capital Bikeshare stations in the County's parks, such as the ones in Bluemont Junction Park northeast of the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and George Mason Drive and in Oakland Park on Wilson Boulevard near N. Oakland Street. The stations contain large and unsightly signs that detract from the public's enjoyment of the parks. The pads for the bikes pave over green areas, add impervious surfaces to the parks, and increase run-off into the County's streams and the Chesapeake Bay.

with the next station at the Corner of WO&D and Columbia Pike will help close the loop already created by the trails.

Typo on page 8-3. It says that stations need to be replaced in 2012, but that should be 2022.

How about a bikeshare corral at Fort Scott Park in Arlington? People could ride their bikes to this park and it would also serve the neighborhood. Thaks.

Right now big issue is that on cannot get full leg movement because the wide seat stops your thigh from having full movement. Maybe just have some seats thinner for smaller, thinner bottoms.
