I was wondering if those were recent right after I posted, but I know the Euclid location has been there for at least a year.
That was the only one west of Bathurst until the latest rearranging of the deck chairs. The closest Bixi location to me was at Bathurst and Lennox, two blocks away. It was moved to Queen West and as such, Bixi is now almost useless to me. (Not going to walk three blocks in the other direction to pick up a bike at Euclid and Bloor that may or may not be there or six blocks to the Annex).
As much as Bixi should be expanded to the east and west (and north, at least to Dupont/Davenport to start as it might be problematic keeping bikes stocked up on St. Clair), the density of existing stands in the downtown area also needs to improve. Montreal has a stand every block or two in the downtown core; a lot easier to find a bike or an empty space than it is here on a weekday.
