BIXI Toronto To Relocate 17 Stations

To accommodate snow removal this winter, BIXI Toronto will be relocating 17 stations and expanding one station starting November 26th. The station at Phoebe Ave / Spadina Ave will also be expanded by adding 24 news docking points. Also working closely with its partner, the city of Toronto, to study the performance of each station, BIXI Toronto decided to relocate stations with a low level of use to busier locations.

“The stations will be moved a little further east and west to expand the service area. The larger area will offer BIXI users more options”, noted Michael Felice, operations manager for BIXI Toronto. These relocations will allow users to benefit from a larger service area.”

The 17 stations to be relocated are:

• From Shuter St/ Bond St to SW corner Sherbourne/ Carlton (Allan Gardens)
• From CNE to SW corner Trinity/ Front (Distillery)
