NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has initiated a policy to issue criminal summonses to cyclists, responding to what she claims are frequent complaints about reckless cycling. Her mother, Merryl Tisch, a prominent critic of cycling practices and a key figure in educational governance, has publicly condemned bike lanes, coinciding with her daughter's crackdown. Despite both denying collusion, the close relationship between them raises questions about potential undisclosed influences regarding this new policy on cycling in New York City.
"The mother and daughter still talk all the time, and Merryl is, shall we say, generous with her opinions on 'everything from trash policy, hairstyle, criminal-justice reform.'"
"I see a lot of young people on your team, but all I hear about is that this [bike lanes] isn't working for average New Yorkers."
