Since launching in 2013 with one dock at Discovery World on the lakefront in downtown Milwaukee, Bublr Bikes has grown to include 87 stations in the Greater Milwaukee area, including Milwaukee, West Allis, Wauwatosa and Shorewood.

The city’s Department of Public Works said the new station sites were chosen following several public meetings where residents shared their input. While some will fill in gaps in the existing bike share system, DPW said the majority will be placed in neighborhoods that currently don’t have access to Bublr.
