Users of Nice Ride Minnesota could have several new stations to check in and out green bicycles as the popular bike-sharing program expands this summer.
A list of 14 proposed additions released Wednesday includes stations on Nicollet Island, along the Mississippi River, near the University of Minnesota and in northeast Minneapolis. The system is looking to add as many as 20.
Nice Ride had hoped to deploy the new stations at the beginning of the riding season, which kicked off earlier this month. But they have been delayed until July, said spokesman Anthony Ongaro.
If 20 stations are added this summer, Nice Ride would have 190 stations making it the fourth largest in the country behind Washington D.C., New York City and Chicago.

- 3rd Avenue and University Ave SE.
- 2nd Street and 5th Ave SE.
