The Citi Bike fleet will stretch into Ridgewood by 2020 as part of a massive expansion to the bike sharing system.

City officials today announced the boundaries for the expanded Citi Bike fleet, which will ultimately double the size of the service area and triple the number of bikes to 40,000.

New bikes will come to Ridgewood “in the coming months,” City officials said, as part of an expansion from the L train corridor in Brooklyn that already began.

By 2023, the bike share company will head to other Queens neighborhoods east of Astoria and Long Island City, currently the only two in the borough with Citi Bike stations. These include: Sunnyside, Maspeth, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and Corona.

The Ridgewood expansion comes about seven years after the system launched in New York, and a few years after it was first expanded to Queens in Long Island City in 2015. Citi Bike currently has 12,000 bikes and more than 750 stations in western Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey City, according to the company’s website.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
