Medford Secures $250,000 State Grant to Maintain and Expand Bluebike Network 

Grant will allow City to maintain all stations and install 3 additional stations 

 

(MEDFORD)—The City has secured a $250,000 state grant to expand and maintain its Bluebike network, Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn announced. This funding, from Mass DOT’s Shared Streets and Spaces Program, will allow the City to install 3 additional stations, bringing the total number up to 18.   

 

“We’ve been working so hard to make Medford more pedestrian friendly, less car reliant and expand our green transit options,” Mayor Lungo-Koehn said. “This grant from Mass DOT will allow us to grow our green transit infrastructure and provide more opportunities for those in our City who don’t drive to get to where they need to go. Thank you to our Traffic and Transportation Director Todd Blake for securing this funding and building out our Bluebike network.” 

 

Earlier this month, the City announced the installation of four new Bluebike stations at Carr Park, Medford High School (Steve Miller Dr. at Winthrop St.), Governors Ave. at Lawrence Rd. (adjacent to Lawrence Memorial Hospital), and Winthrop Circle. 

 

Bluebike stations are aimed to be located at key transit points, in business districts, or in neighborhoods, increasing the City’s last mile connections to public transportation. In addition to the four new locations announced in early August, Bluebike stations can be found at Hickey Park, Auburn Street at Mystic River, West Medford Square, Logan Park, Hormel Stadium, Harris Park, Haines Square, Tufts Square, Main Street at Brooks Park, Medford Square (opposite Riverside Plaza), and the Wellington MBTA Station.
