Bay Ridge Showed Up Against the Citibike Expansion
Community Board 10’s office was packed with Ridgites, who wanted to express their thoughts about the Citibike Expansion in Bay Ridge. Go Bay Ridge!
Watch here:
If we had better councilman, he would have negotiated for this community. Justin Brannan has failed to stand up AGAIN. When politicians leave you to fight when they should have taken care of this, vote them out.
Bay Ridge residents were there with hope and saying everything that was wrong with Lyft’s huge expansion of Citibikes. Some of these people should consider running for office because they delivered good speeches (many supported having some new docks).
Those who called into the Zoom were well prepared because they wanted to help their neighbors. I was nodding along with you as you spoke.
Some Citibikes are needed in the community because people would like to ride around Brooklyn.
It was sad to hear that Citibike docks are being placed in front of people’s homes. Someone should have done a better job with the locations. While the community should be excited for the new addition, they aren’t because Lyft is overstepping on public space.
Doris on CB 10 noted that restaurants have to pay to place outdoor cafes outside their property. Why isn’t Lyft paying? Check back tomorrow and I will share more on this.
Many CB 10 members also spoke out for the community. I appreciate the CB 10 Member who loves bike riding and called this a land grab. CB member who contacted the DOT and asked questions. Richie Barsamian, I appreciate you voice for the community again.
One guy who sits on CB 10 didn’t share the lobbyist for this project. He’s a political person. Not saying the truth to the community isn’t helping anyone!
Hugs,
