Chattanooga’s 4-year-old bike-share system is capitalizing on new residential development and a lengthened Tennessee Riverwalk.
Four new Bike Chattanooga rental stations opened last month, bringing the total number of stations to 37.
Local nonprofit and foundation leaders gathered last Thursday off Amnicola Highway at the Riverwalk’s Curtain Pole Road entrance for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at one of the new stations.
Two other new stations are along a new 3-mile stretch of the Tennessee Riverwalk that opened this year, and another is next to the new Douglas Heights apartment building at M.L. King Boulevard and University Street.
The first station on the new section of Riverwalk is at the Blue Goose Hollow trailhead adjacent to the Cameron Harbor home and apartment development. The second is next to the old Wheland Foundry site, farther south on the new section of multi-use path that connects Ross’s Landing to Middle Street in the South Broad district.
