Vote NO on all ballot proposals! Here is why for #3 Streets for the People or Big Tech & Corporate E-Bikes? @SpeakerMenin @ShaunAbreu @dylanypyen @nyccommonsense ourtownny.com/voices/streets…

Streets for the People or Big Tech & Corporate E-Bikes?

For a decade, New Yorkers were told that if the city rebuilt its streets around the bicycle—later, by sleight of hand, the e-bike—and charged us to drive, we wo...

Calling community input "red tape" should worry everyone. If these proposals, drafted heavily by @openplans, @TransAlt , become law @nyc_dot could close streets, restrict access, movement — hand public space to real estate interests, with no community voice in the process.

please pay attention: @NYCCFB @NYSCOELIG and address this clear violation of election law. There is nothing neutral or educational about this. The administration is using taxpayer funds to get people to vote yes by saying this will deliver a faster government. It’s also a big fat lie. What they really want to do is eliminate the possibility of any dissent on any of their plans. They want to be able to give gifts to their special interests without anyone in the community objecting , just like they do in authoritarian regimes. Every community board president, every city council representative, every community leader, district leader or elected should be objecting to this flagrant misuse of taxpayer funds. We say : VOTE NO ON ALL FIVE. @OneCityRisingNY @nyc_evsa

The city is not supposed to spend funds on electoral campaigns so this is "get out the vote" campaign that is HEAVILY implying you should vote a certain way without saying it. We saw the same thing with the City Council last year, and the year before.

"As long as e-bikes and e-scooters are unregistered, as long as their operators do not have proper licensing to use them, we will see the grim consequences of irresponsibility on the streets of the city." amny.com/editorial/editorial…

Editorial | Enforcing responsibility with e-bikes in NYC | amNewYork

This year alone, the city has reported hundreds of street collisions involving e-bikes and scooters, some of which resulted in death. Even with devices like

Send help, I've been detained by Hamptons Ambassador Service. As you can tell, I'm really scared, + pouty sad. I'm encouraged that my captors say that I'll probably be released in Bridge, a few yards fr Bobby Van's where I'm looking forward to the burger. The struggle is real!

.@TransAlt lobby group is funded by @uber @lyft @VerraMobility They want private vehicles removed from NYC streets to benefit their funders. Nothing to do with safety.

Red tape and overly bureaucratic processes are keeping our streets dangerous.

Agree 100%. This is electioneering on the Govt dime.

We’ve seen mayors walk right up to the line. This isn’t even close: It’s way over. What’s more frustrating is hearing COIB is privately telling people this isn’t a big deal. It absolutely is. What’s the point of ethics rules if nobody enforces them? We need accountability.

On Good Day today @SpeakerMenin said she supports registration of e-bikes on a State level, like New Jersey. Is this an endorsement of Priscilla's Law to register ALL e-bikes and e-scooters? Inquiring minds would love to know @nyc_evsa @rosannascotto

To add insult to injury, it points to an nyc.gov website that has a Zohran TicToc video singing the virtues of the ballot measures that give more power to him, and less to us!

Quote from a French Author on the current situation there seems to echo much of what we are seeing here. A Government that ignores the public and does what it wants (we are seeing this Nationally by the Right, and locally by the Left). NYC Ballot Props propose to take more power from the people. We need to vote them down, but let's face it, much of our governance is already acting against popular consent and will, and this must change. It starts by actually voting and participating!

US policy toward Russia & Ukraine is, in a word, shameful. Trump continues to do things FOR Russia & TO Ukraine. But where are the others, from @SecRubio to Republican senators? Do they really want to be seen by history as accomplices to appeasement? richardhaass.substack.com/p/…
