The two additional stations are provided with support from Northwestern University and their locations were determined based on providing connections between the eight established stations and the Northwestern campus. Data from these reports and meetings identified trip generators and destination points which then defined the eight original station locations. The eight stations were defined by gathering data from a survey during the City’s Bike Plan Update, a Northwestern University Industrial Engineering capstone project, a community meeting, an online survey (with over a thousand respondents), and paper surveys provided at the Levy Senior Center and Evanston Public Library’s Main Library. In planning for these original eight stations, the station regions were selected based on the goal of developing a network that balances access to transit, geography and population reach. As part of the Illinois Department of Transportation Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, the City of Evanston was awarded funding for eight stations. Planning for the Evanston stations originally began with an eight station network.
