Capital Bikeshare marches on with its expansion across the D.C.-area with today’s expected approval to expand its presence in Arlington County. The plan, approved by The Arlington County Board, calls for 30 new stations and 190 bikes at the cost of $1.2 million in federal grant funds. The new stations are planned to be in place by next summer, just in time for biking weather.

The news of expansion comes at the heels of Alexandria’s vote to join the Capital Bikeshare network with its own six stations and D.C.’s addition of 50 as well. While we joke that the “war on drivers” will soon reach a new fever pitch, drivers across the area will soon need to learn to share the roads with our red-painted, two-wheeled brethren.
