    NYPD's Tisch Skips City Council E-Bike Hearing Despite Focus on Enforcement - Streetsblog New York City (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch blew off Wednesday’s City Council marathon hearing about e-bike safety — sending subordinates in her stead who didn’t even both to deliver a prepared testimony for a hearing that ultimately focused mostly on the NYPD’s purview, enforcement, rather than the record-setting 23 legislative proposals on the day’s agenda. A police spokesperson told Streetsblog the NYPD had not been asked to share prepared testimony, but a rep for City Council Speaker Julie Menin (D-Manh

    Eyes On The Street: Bedford Avenue Remains Mayor Mamdani's Mess - Streetsblog New York City (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, on a bicycle, time travel is possible. Where the protected bike lane abruptly ends at Willoughby Avenue, northbound cyclists are pushed back to the unsafe past: an unprotected “bike lane” that does little but serve as overflow parking for the many scofflaws of the neighborhood. This barrier between the present and the unsafe past is a symbol of how New York City’s streetscape has been shaped by political power and moneyed interests instead of by the principals of s

    City Exempted Truck in Fatal Crash from Life-Saving Safety Component - Streetsblog New York City (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The excavation truck whose driver killed a teenager on a Citi Bike last week was exempted from a city rule requiring a crucial safety feature meant to prevent victims from being pinned under the heavy vehicles — and it turns out that about half of all trade-waste vehicles are exempt from the life-saving tech, the Business Integrity Commission told Streetsblog. So-called “side guards” or underguards that protect against the type of fatality that occurred on Friday night on E. 14th Street have bee

    State Pols Seek To Close Loophole That Lets Retailers Sell 'Illegal' E-Motos - Streetsblog New York City (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    State lawmakers are pushing legislation to bar the sale of e-motos, closing a loophole that has allowed retailers to sell devices that are illegal to ride on roadways but are legal to own for private use — legislation that could shift the narrative from proposed restrictions on safe and legal e-bikes to focus on the more-dangerous high-speed two-wheelers. State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez (D-Long Island City) introduced the bill to establish a clear definition for these overpowered vehicles, and expli

    What The Dickens? DOTs Final Truck Route Map Is A Tale Of Two Cities - Streetsblog New York City (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Want to really understand the city’s long-awaited new truck route map? Brush up on “A Tale of Two Cities.“ There’s a Dickensian quality to how two adjoining Brooklyn neighborhoods — Sunset Park and Bay Ridge — ended up looking so different on the Department of Transportation’s new Truck Route Network, the first-such revamp in over 50 years. Neither neighborhood wanted an additional truck route put on the map, but only one, Bay Ridge, emerged without one. That simple victory might be Pyrrhic in t
