We regret the senseless death of a young pedicab driver, killed by an SUV driver near Times Square this weekend. All our thoughts and prayers for Ibrokhim Azizov’s family.

Legalizing the electric assist motor for pedicabs will give a new sense of hope in the middle of the long and depressing COVID impact on these NYC small business owners. @Vanessalgibson @NYCSpeakerCoJo Thank you for taking action now @BillPerkinsNYC
The e-assist prohibition kept countless people from the pedicab business, including older folks and women, due to possible strains from riding pedicabs without electric assist motor. Intro.2233 is a much needed relief now @MarkGjonajNY@HelenRosenthal@ydanis
“We cannot continue to force pedestrians and cyclists to share one crowded path on the Brooklyn Bridge, while drivers get six travel lanes.” https://t.co/dQqBmukUqf
We need more busways and protected bike lanes to support the thousands of New Yorkers returning to work. Tell your council member to prioritize busways and bike lanes in your neighborhood: https://t.co/q4hCElvXTq
There are plenty of rooms in NYC to house our homeless NYers. Joining advocates today to tell our Mayor to secure thousands of rooms now and end the sweeps and targeting on our streets #HomelessCantStayHome
To restaurants relying upon app delivery workers to deliver your food to New Yorkers - let delivery workers wash their hands at your restaurant!!! Where else are they gonna wash their hands???
Also provide delivery workers w/PPE.

Finally hardworking delivery bikers can operate without fear of criminalization and NYPD harassments. E-pedicab drivers need the same. NYC follow suit and legalize e-pedicabs now @NYCMayor@NYCDCA@TransAlt @NYCCouncil38 @CarlinaRivera https://t.co/V8RK4PeYTf
If it’s public health versus the economy, the only choice is public health. You cannot put a value on human life.
You do the right thing. That’s what Pop taught us @ChrisCuomo
Just over 24 hours later, @PurpleClarence's tour of NYC showing before/after of public spaces, streets & bridges during COVID emergency has broken 15K plays on social media!
HAVE YOU SEEN IT? The full @Streetfilms here: https://t.co/QSACXTpruh
Here's a new segment to view!
We applaud @NYGovCuomo's call to open streets to people during #COVIDー19 as a tool for social distancing. NYC has a long history of doing this for block parties, races, Summer Streets and festivals. @TransAlt supports these efforts to reduce density and keep our streets safe.
UPDATE: @SenSchumer’s office reached out to @freelancersu. He’s pushing for a package that increases and expands U.I. to cover #freelancers and #gigworkers. We need to keep the pressure & ensure everyone is properly covered. https://t.co/IqsblFU2pW
Many of delivery workers in NYC rely upon bike shops for repairs to be able to keep delivering food and other supplies.
If @NYGovCuomo is closing bike shops, how will he ensure that delivery workers can get repairs to bikes and ebikes to travel safely???
