Metro Bike-Share expansion to the San Fernando Valley has been championed by L.A. City Councilmembers Nury Martinez and Paul Krekorian. The NoHo expansion was approved in late 2018, though there was no firm opening date set at that time. Earlier this year Metro solicited input on NoHo bike-share docking locations.
Metro Bike-Share smart-dock bikes have been expanding recently in Koreatown and East Hollywood, though coverage there remains somewhat spotty compared to downtown L.A. and Westside service areas.
