Definitely fills in some gaps for me where I would like some stations (NW area).  Thought this was coming this year, but good to know its coming.

I like this expansion plan - makes the system more useful.

Didn't this exact same announcement happen in the spring, to be rolled out this year?

Leave it to the city to take "the expansion we made a huge effin deal out of that was going to make Chicago's the largest bikeshare system in North America didn't happen" and present it as "great news-- new stations coming next year!!!!!!!!"

The beauty is, as long as the announcement isn't tied to any real-world action, there is nothing stopping it from growing each year.  Think of the excitement 2-3 years from now, when the city announces a planned expansion that's going to make Chicago's bike share system the biggest in the Galaxy.
