All of these are excellent points, but may not be feasible to add without them switching the mapping library used in the app (based on the commercial names everywhere I’m pretty sure it’s using Google).

The UI map elements mirror those of Google Maps but the underlying streets and paths are from OpenStreetMap.org. That said, the places of interest seem to be yoinked from Google. There is actually a tiny info button within the Citi Bike app at the bottom left that confirms use of LyftMap and OpenStreetMap so hopefully that means they're able to customize the features and overlays.
