A lot of news outlets picked up the CaBi Map release news. It turns out that DDOT wasn't quite finished tweaking it yesterday morning and so GGW was covering the story in realtime. This post shows what changed during the day.
Fox covered the process
DDOT used a number of factors to determine the locations including population density, employment density, proximity to transit and the bike to work rate. DDOT also incorporated crowd sourcing as a means to identify locations. DDOT has posted three maps on its website, www.ddot.dc.gov . The three maps highlight various aspects of the analysis including a density analysis map and a crowd sourcing heat map. The third map shows the proposed locations for nearly all the stations. The maps can be found under the Bicycle and Pedestrian programs.
Georgetown is excited about it's one station (yeah, my hood got as many stations as Georgetown U).
Dr. Gridlock agrees that Capitol Hill is under-served. And DCist commenters want a station at each Metro.
