INVASION BY THE PARKING SNATCHERS (A BAD SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE BY THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION) (DOT)

 #InvasionbytheParkingSnatchers (A Bad Science Fiction Movie by the New York City Department of Transportation) (DOT)

    MY RESPONSE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) ON THEIR BIKE PROGRAM INSANITY IN NEW YORK CITY... IT IS CAUSING PARKING ISSUES, SAFETY ISSUES (FOR BIKERS, DRIVERS, PEDESTRIANS - CHILDREN, ADULTS, AND OUR MOST VULNERABLE - THE ELDERLY), GARBAGE ISSUES (WHICH THEY DO MAKE AN EFFORT TO CLEAN UP), AND NOISE ISSUES (LOUD CLANGING BIKE RACK SOUNDS OUTSIDE OUR BEDROOM WINDOWS DURING SLEEPING HOURS)...

 

...You people at NYC DOT are destroying our City with every bike station you install. Are bikers the only people you care about? You are making the city unsafe and dangerous for bikers, pedestrians, drivers; stealing parking from drivers amuses you! The loud clanging of bikes being put back on racks outside our windows/bedroom windows is an added gift to us from your insanity. Criminal! - Shame on you for getting away with this. Bicyclists feel so entitled by your program that they feel drivers who lose parking because of this program should pay for garages. They believe the streets are only for them, not the drivers. Your doing, DOT! Our community leaders here are in cahoots with the DOT. Vote them out and defund the DOT! Take our City back! DOT is like a bad science fiction movie... #InvasionbytheParkingSnatchers

We want NYC to be the most bike-friendly city, and that includes expanding bike parking. Today we installed a new #BikeNYC corral on 7th Ave between W 42nd-W 41st St that is 39 racks long!
