New York Post Citi Bikes Will Be the Downfall of NYC Feature highlights an East Village resident who got caught up in some stupid city bureaucracy.
Basically, here's what happened,
torn right from the pages of today's paper!
An NYU grad student has finally won her battle with the city over $475 in parking fines racked up because a crew moved her car to an illegal spot to make way for a new bike-share station.
On April 30, Patricia Preston left her Honda Civic on East Second Street between avenues A and B, where she had to move it for street cleaning two days later.
When she went back, her car was gone — and a Citi Bike rack was in its place.
Anyway, among other things, the tow truck parked her car backward — handing her a $65 ticket.
The resident got all this dismissed yesterday in Manhattan Traffic Court.
