It is all very interesting and I will be following this as it unfolds. Nice to see that there seems to be organization in detail. I am a skeptic and not really a supporter of the City/County going into business, non-profit or not. 

The main reason is accountability. So far nothing has shown me that anything the city or state does is accountable. Who loses their job or pays back the money if the plans do not work as proposed? This is just one of many things. 

If bikeshare was a good idea all the city should have done is make space available for rent on city property to individuals who wanted to operate a bikeshare business. 

Seeing how few people even walk the short distance between space in this lovely weather.  Funding at taxpayer expense another program of feel good ideas is one of the reasons this state and county is in such poor financial shape. 

good luck though
