@nicolegelinas @CentralParkNYC In Central Park, they are actually eliminating infrastructure for pedestrians. Walk signs disabled and covered in burlap, red lights eliminated, audible crossings for the blind- gone! It's a slam dunk ADA case!

The obvious natural experiment for this is ... @CentralParkNYC . Passenger cars are banned, commercial trucks with business in the park must and generally do adhere to a slow speed limit, and the lanes are wide open for bikes, including a theoretical fast lane and slow lane. It's been a disaster, because of the poor regulation of e-bikes. This time, enforcement and evidence that that enforcement is working must come before any new infrastructure ... it's the enforcement changes that have lagged reality, not the infrastructure.

The experiment of "safety in numbers" and "adding infrastructure" has been tried, and FAILED! Just look at Third Ave on the UES- 8' wide protected bike lane, wider on passing blocks, 3' buffer, bike-only signals, e-bike speed limit signs. Still, chaos-e bikes running reds, biking in bus lane, going wrong way, through pedestrians, etc...infrastructure isn't doing spit!

One of three pre-teens on @lyft @CitiBikeNYC e-bikes, no helmet, no clue on E 84th the other day in a small pack running through pedestrians. Citibike and Mamdani oppose facial recognition for age verification. How about banning accounts when children use parents accounts?

There is nothing about adding a bike lane that makes an e-biker not speed, run red lights, leave scene of crash, ride on auto-pilot.The majority voices will soon drown out the Authoritarian, wealthy @TransAlt & corrupt @ShaunAbreu ‘cause THAT is what Democracy Looks Like!💜

@ycinnewyork The City's brilliant plan- not to eliminate illegal vending, but to make wider sidewalks for Canal Street! You can't make this shit up. They love criminals and love to create gridlock.

Canal street has been a mess and it’s gotten worse. Illegal venders lay their illegal goods on the sidewalks (both sides) and reduce pedestrian walk way. NYPD / DSNY needs to clean this up. AG James should go after selling counterfeit and work with ICE to deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes. Yea, never happening.

Chinatown is overrun with illegals selling illegal merch. Counterfeit goods sold tax-free for gangsters by illegal aliens taking advantage of “sanctuary city” anarchy while living off American taxpayers. Spare me lectures about the rich “not paying their fare share”.

Another tragic incident of a reckless e-biker. We need to give the NYPD the ability and tools necessary to hold them accountable. Our lawsuit aims to do just that. nypost.com/2026/07/16/us-…

@ycinnewyork It’s fucking weird. Why wouldn’t you spend your time with victims of crime, which there are many. It shows how evil these people are

This bothered me and I couldn’t figure out why until now. It takes someone so full of himself with all the privilege of power and protection to walk into a roomful of people who’ve committed crimes; and not petty ones. It’s not about being a mayor for commoners/criminals alike, it’s a show of how truly untouchable he feels.

NYC jogger in coma after e-bike driver rams into her in Central Park & he isn't facing any consequences. These serious accidents that cause skull fractures, TMI and brain bleeds happen regularly all over city. This one made the news. @ShaunAbreu nypost.com/2026/07/16/us-…

I hope she wakes up and recovers. The one factor in @CentralParkNYC that has changed over the past six years is the proliferation of the ebikes, many of them commercial vehicles, and now combined with a very confusing cross system. Yet the park prefers to focus on banning horses based on one tragic freak accident.

Jean has been in a medically induced coma since she was struck by the electric bike on July 7. westsiderag.com/2026/07/15/wom…

The end of lugging your bike up the stairs to your fifth-floor walkup is near 😤 @NYC_DOT is bringing 500 secure bike parking lockers to New York City's streets by the end of 2027! And there's still time to request one for your block 👇
