Midwood Teen Hit by Motorbike on Sidewalk

We are lucky this teenager is alright. Why are e-scooters being used on sidewalks? Because no one is stopping them or ticketing them!
This morning in Midwood, a teenager was hit hard by an illegal motorbike driving illegally on the sidewalk.

We need to take this seriously, and end this menace for once and for all. Plates, and insurance for all motorized bikes, no difference if it’s electric or gas. pic.twitter.com/BsyqMZiF7U
In 2020, Councilman Justin Brannan voted for electric scooters to be used on NYC Streets.

Many people have complained to Brannan about Ebikes riding on sidewalks and on Shore Road. Brannan has not made any changes.
We don’t need the head of Finance, we need a Council representative who is willing to make changes when things aren’t working out in a neighborhood.
