NYPD Targets Bikes in Ticket Blitz
My Fox NY
Summonses for unlawful bicycling are up 48 percent in New York City over last year.
The NYPD has issued nearly 14,000 tickets so far this year for cyclists who run red lights, ride on sidewalks and bike against traffic.
The New York Post says that’s up from more than 9,000 summonses written during the same period last year.
Manhattan and Brooklyn have the largest number of scofflaw bicyclists. Staten Island had the least, with only 66 tickets issued.
The cycling advocacy group Transportation Alternatives said police should focus on the most dangerous offenses.
Bluberg = $+$+$+$+$$$$$
Blumberg would do anything for a buck, he already degraded the quality of life in NY, i’m in suspense to see what he’ll come up with next for another few dollars – B”H I don’t live in that sick city, and I actually start to pms each time I cross the GWB
