The article discusses Streetsblog's roll-out of candidate responses to eight questions on campaign strategies, focusing particularly on urban cycling infrastructure. Candidates like Scott Stringer emphasize the need for expanded protected bike lanes to enhance safety for cyclists and pedestrians alike, proposing regulations for e-bikes to prioritize safety. Zellnor Myrie supports initiatives like the proposed NY Ride Clean Rebate for e-bikes and advocates for improved e-bike infrastructure to make sustainable transport accessible. The feedback will be assessed by experts and summarized through a matrix.
"We need to invest in the massive expansion of protected bike lanes, so cyclists have a dedicated and safe space to traverse the streets," Stringer stated, emphasizing the priority of cyclist safety on urban streets. He believes these improvements will not only enhance cycling conditions but also protect pedestrians.
Myrie proposed expanding e-bike infrastructure and introduced a bill for 50-percent rebates for those who purchase e-bikes. This initiative aims to make e-bikes more accessible and promote sustainable transportation.
