Wrong coordinates for "Wood St & Walnut St" station

There is a Divvy station with name "Wood St & Walnut St" and the API reports its lat/lon as 41.87862, -87.66913 https://maps.app.goo.gl/TAE4Zvgc47gg3bVq9

# from https://gbfs.divvybikes.com/gbfs/en/station_information.json
{

  "station_id": "2116968075735593618",
  "rental_methods": [

  "lon": -87.66913,
  "name": "Wood St & Walnut St",

}

The location is incorrect. The real station is located a few blocks away from there, about 0.6 miles NNW: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8j4wEPnohazxDo819 

Consequently, the iPhone app and the divvybikes website render the "Wood St & Walnut St" station at the incorrect location. It's shown at S Paulina St near the intersection of W Adams St and W Ogden Ave, but if you go there trying to get or park a bike, you won't find any station at all! The actual station is found on the North-West corner of Wood St & Walnut St (as the name suggests), which is about 15 minutes walk away.

Incorrect location: 41.87862, -87.66913
Correct location: 41.88611, -87.67205

In database, please update the location of station "Wood St & Walnut St" (id 2116968075735593618).
