From: Maya Chen To: Planning Partners Subject: July rollout notes for the regional bike-sharing network Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 09:18:42 -0400 Good morning, Ahead of Thursday's coordination call, here are the current notes for the regional bike-sharing network rollout. The first 48 stations are still on track for launch across Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville during the week of August 17. The remaining west corridor stations are now expected to follow in early September because two curbside permits near GO stations need final sign-off. A few items need attention: - Station branding files are due to the fabrication vendor by Friday. - Each municipality should confirm snow-clearing responsibilities for station pads by July 24. - Transit integration testing starts next Monday with PRESTO account linking in the staging environment. - The operations team is asking for final approval on overnight redistribution windows. We also need a decision on whether the opening fare promotion should run region-wide or only in the first-launch cities. My recommendation is region-wide, since users will see the same app and membership plan regardless of where the first docks appear.

That was the most common question during the station open houses.
