Brooklyn Navy Yard - Dock 72 Station
The above referenced station has a valet daily in the mornings and afternoons. This station is SO oversubscribed, by the time the valet finishes each morning there are 100's of CitiBike's chained up and almost no docks available to select a bike from. How does CitiBike go about monitoring this and obtaining more real estate for the chained bikes? It makes the station useless from 10AM-4PM daily - and the area around the Brooklyn Navy Yard almost never has available docks. As the weather improves it gets worse, and I'm not looking forward to another summer of circling for stations or walking half a mile from the closest available station.
Here's a picture of the area at 6:30PM on a Friday - looks even worse on a workday!
TYIA!
