An Open Letter

To: Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand, Rep. Espaillat

From: A constituent in New York, NY

July 12

Can you please address the sheer number of bikes, e bikes, and scooters ignoring all traffic rules? This has ballooned with the explosion of delivery services and poses a real safety risk to pedestrians. I have yet to see the NYPD enforce these traffic violations, including adults zipping down sideways on e bikes and scooters, and ignoring all traffic lights at high speeds. I have a near collision almost every day. Recently I had a bad fall trying to get out of the way of an adult w bikers speeding through a red light as I was crossing the street. It’s out of control and needs to be addressed. Thanks for your attention to this issue.
