City staff made that map before detailed planning and before the comprehensive global bike sharing analysis report, available here: http://www.treehugger.com/bikes/why-do-s... The ITDP report spells out 5 critical conditions for success, the first two are: -minimum station density of max 300m between stations -10-30 bikes per 1,000 residents in the service area. With only 80 stations, going in the mountain in the first year would jeopardize the success of the program because the minimum criteria would not be met. The current plan has a much better chance of being very successful in year 1, and bring in enough revenue to expand with new stations and more bikes on the Mountain in year 2.
