(CHICAGO) The bike sharing system, Divvy, is making it’s way west of the city to Oak Park this summer.

Formerly, the program serviced areas in the city of Chicago north to Andersonville and Uptown, and stretching south into Hyde Park.

Since it’s inception in Chicago in 2013, the program has grown to cover neighborhoods such as Edgewater and South Shore with racks at Rainbow Beach.

According to Divvy, there are “4,760 bikes and 476 stations across the city.”

The expansion of the Divvy bike-sharing program into the western suburbs this summer was made official as the Oak Park Village Board approved locations for 13 of the bike sharing stations to be installed.
