FYI! The Citi Bike Docking Station At Carroll And Smith Street In Carroll Gardens Has Been Removed

Well, that is strange! The large Citi Bike docking station next to Carroll Park on Carroll Street at Smith Street here in Carroll Gardens was removed yesterday afternoon. One wonders why, since this location seemed to be well used and located conveniently just half a block from the Carroll Street subway entrance to the F/G train.

The docking station was installed together with others in the fall of 2016, when City Bike expanded into the neighborhood.  

The removal of bikes at a well used location seems odd considering the pandemic, when people might prefer to ride a bike rather than take the subway.

Have other bikes being removed in the area?

If you need to dock a bike nearby, the station on Smith Street near 2nd Place and 3rd Street is still there.

***Update: some readers have informed me that Carroll Street is slated for repaving next week. Hopefully, the station will be reinstalled. Stay tuned.
