This morning, was honored to join @RepEspaillat at the Dominican Parade breakfast, and present the Honorary Dominican Award to Police Commissioner @NYPDPC! 🇩🇴🇩🇴
First National Night Out stop: 46th NYPD Precinct with Police Commissioner Tisch, DA Clark, and neighbors. This community continues to face challenges related to crime; and we will continue to make public safety a top priority until the issues are resolved.
Every New Yorker deserves to move around our city freely and safely, regardless of how they get around.
But too many people have been seriously injured or killed in crashes involving illegal e-bikes, e-motos, and e-scooters.
That’s why the @NYCCouncil is launching a comprehensive review of where existing laws can be stronger enforced, and what additional solutions are needed to keep New Yorkers safe.

That’s how many guns NYPD officers seized on Sunday around the Bronx Dominican Day Parade.
No number of gun seizures can ease the pain of losing 12-year-old Jacob Freytes, but the NYPD will continue to do everything in our power to get these deadly weapons off our streets.
Jacob Freytes should be alive today.
Instead, his family is mourning the unimaginable loss of their 12-year-old boy whose life was stolen by senseless gun violence while riding his bike in his own neighborhood.
My heart is with Jacob’s loved ones and his entire community in the Bronx.
I am grateful to the NYPD for their quick action in apprehending the suspect. We must do everything in our power to get illegal guns off our streets, invest in gun violence prevention strategies, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure no family has to endure this kind of heartbreak.

Later today, @NYCMayor's @NYC_DOT will break ground on its Fordham Road bus lane redesign project. Project presented an opportunity to bring real investments to a historically-neglected minority community; and the admin has instead chosen to deliver crumbs. Full statement below:
“It is disappointing that, rather than making meaningful investments (in a historically-neglected minority community), the administration has chosen to offer crumbs,” said Feliz.
The Bronx is important. It deserves better.
