Bike Rack Locations and Bike Share Locations

With Map Maker gone I'm curious how I can appropriately add the city of Fort Wayne's bike racks, bike share locations, and dedicated bike lanes to maps. The city already has their information in GIS, and I could request the data from them but I don't know how to get it into Google maps. It seems like this info is best added to Google Maps but I just don't know how to do it. 

 

Here is the map they have, but it's on their own system and kind of proprietary: http://www.acimap.us/fwparks/

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

In Washington DC, bike share racks are administered by Capital Bike Share.

 

Somebody has added many points of interest to GMaps representing rack locations.  Most are titled just "Capital Bike Share" which takes on less space on the map than identifying the location as part f the title.

Good question. Trying to figure out how to collect and share bike parking locations in Seattle myself. Based on use, bike lanes are included in directions. Knowing where parking is available often alters my routes. So, what your asking may already be included. Have tried planning a trip?
