@NYCBikeLanes This is 100% true. A few months back, I heard my precinct was doing a special operation on ghost cars. Gave them exact locations where they could easily find 15+ vehicles but they said “no thanks, the car has to be moving”. 🤷♀️
It goes on for several blocks. And I only narrowly missed being hit by a bus “getting in line” because I saw him coming and jumped onto the sidewalk.
Bonus + contributing factor: the ever present illegally parked cars in the turn lane with @FDNY placards.
@jehiah@ebottcher@Chekpeds Every. Damn. Day.
I even tried dragging the litter bin to the median (before they installed the concrete ones) and it only slightly slowed them down but created more chaos. If only we had a massive agency dedicated to enforcement 🤔
@EmFriedenberg Was thinking along these lines when I recently spent $30 for a round trip bus to watch my niece play lacrosse in NJ And I had to pay $5,50 r/t to get to & from the bus.
