"because she's a former dues-paying socialist who voted to defund the NYPD". That's about all she did. I would have voted for Kika, the Wonder Dog if I'd had a real choice.
More bike docking stations? More EV residents free parking on streets is being taken away? Are EV residents allowed to own a car only if they can pay for private parking which costs $500-$750/month? Outrageous. How about if bike stations are only placed in 2 Hour Meter Parking zones instead! Take away revenue producing meter spots first. Then we will see how fast the City D.O.T. and Mayor's office review this idea.
Please more bike parking! It is so tough to commute daily when it is impossible to find a bike dock. Never mind the cars that sit for free on the street all day
For what it's worth, Miss KiTa the Wonder Dog® supported Allie Ryan because she is our neighbor, is super knowledgeable about the many critical issues faced by our neighborhood and city, and she is also a very nice person. '
Miss Kita cannot in good conscience say the same about the incumbent who in her view is an opportunist of the very lowest order.
Miss Kita does appreciate the shout out in any case! Regards, JG
Citibike stopped doing the concierge (their word) service where an employee would keep docks open and stack the overload until the balancing truck picked them up. The East Village was always a problem before and now after the EV and Canal are impossible.
There's always a tradeoff with public space. There should be no free parking at all in Manhattan with reasonable monthly and yearly passes.
@Jose Garcia - Well said. You have described our Councilwoman to a T. Carlina is all about Carlina, nothing else matters.
@1:39PM: Just think of it as the subway at rush hour, where you can't expect to get a seat. Did you think being on a bike would exempt you from rush-hour issues?
Yeah exactly actually the exclusive operations rights afforded Citi Bike are also an incentive for the investment of private capital needed to expand the system, according to language in the lawsuit. The city’s contract with Lyft, which was most recently amended in 2020, includes an investment of $300 million to expand the system.
