In what may be the surest sign yet that spring has arrived, the Hubway bike-share program is set to reopen next week with 10 new stations and new, subsidized memberships for low-income patients of one Boston hospital.
After a year-round Cambridge pilot program that averaged 2,000 trips per week during the winter, nearly 100 of the 140 stations in that city, as well as in Boston, Brookline and Somerville, are expected to be operational by April 2, with most of the remaining ones to be rolled out in early April.
Eight stations that are along the marathon route will be deployed after the April 21 race, said Emily Stapleton, general manager of Alta Bicycle Share, the Oregon-based company Boston hired to run the program in 2011.
Since then, Hubway has logged about 1.6 million trips and 9,700 annual members among the four communities, Stapleton said.
"Mayor (Martin J.) Walsh is thrilled to be reopening Hubway," said Nicole Freedman, the city's director of bicycle programs. "It's really become part of the transportation fabric of Boston."
Two of the 10 new bike stations will be at the Boston Design Center, which is sponsoring them, Stapleton said.
The exact locations of two other new Boston stations and six new Cambridge stations are expected to be announced next month.
Walsh and Boston Medical Center this week also announced the launch of "Prescribe a Bike," a new program that allows BMC doctors to write prescriptions for $5 Hubway annual memberships, which normally cost $85, to low-income residents.
