Justin Brannan Voted in Favor of the Electric Scooters Last Year
Many residents are calling for NYC to do something about the electric scooters riding on sidewalks. Journalist, Jessica Parks wrote an article about the scooters on Shore Road, Parks failed to mention that Councilman Brannan voted in favor of that bill last June.
Now that Spring is here, more people are out on new scooters. Some scooters drivers are riding on sidewalks where people are walking.
There is an explosion of these types of vehicles and they aren’t licensed. At the May Community Board 10 people complained about them. When something happens, the drivers of these vehicles just ride away because there is no way to identify them.
By now, Brannan should have done something, but he isn’t willing to revise the bill.
On Shore Road, the pedestrian area and bike area needs to be labeled so people don’t get hurt. When an accident happens, Brannan and other pols will offer prayers, but safety measures should have been put into effect before these e-bikes were allowed.
