That statement is absolutely untrue.  Not one of my neighbors were notified.  I mean, not one.  We checked with each other, and separately called PBOT. 

"Extensive outreach" meant PBOT supposedly sent a letter to my neighborhood association.  This letter was either never sent, or lost in the mail, because it was never mentioned at a meeting.  Because the letter was unanswered, I was told by PBOT that they assumed the neighborhood association was taking care of alerting the neighbors.  Shady shady business.

My neighborhood doesn't need rental bikes 3x heavier than the bikes we already own and ride.  That 10 million could have bought 20,000 $400 commuter bikes and still leave room for a $100 garish Nike paint job for each bike.  That would put 20,000 people on bikes who need transportation.
