Manhattan Community Board 7's Transportation committee has demanded the NYPD cease its controversial crackdown on cyclists and e-bikes, highlighting the unjust nature of escalating minor traffic offenses to criminal court summonses. This policy has raised concerns about disproportionate targeting of cyclists while leaving motor vehicle drivers less accountable. Community leaders argue that such practices unfairly threaten immigrant workers and fail to address the real dangers on the streets. They question the lack of evidence supporting claims that cyclists evade court obligations, advocating for more equitable approaches to ensure road safety.
CB7 calls on the NYPD to immediately end the policy ... and find another way to mitigate bad behavior, holding cyclists to a higher standard than motor vehicle drivers.
The summons blitz... aims to rein in 'rogue' e-bike riders who don't carry a driver's license that could be suspended, highlighting unfair treatment.
