Will still be effective, not as zealous.

To be realistic, even if the city required a payment to file a citizen report, I'm sure a lot of cyclists would happily pay that if that meant the citizen report was actually dealt with.

I'm obviously not proposing that. This is just a commentary about how motivated the cycling community can be.

Sometimes it’s not about getting fed, it’s about watching the other guy get eaten.

" The revised bill requires that the car be “unoccupied” when a report is filed, a change that is aimed at avoiding conflict."

-I see this provision being so exploitable. I was taking the q46 and saw a bunch of dump trucks on queens blvd bike lanes with their drivers inside, which according to this provision means you can't report them.

> The revised bill allows only complaints in Lower Manhattan (Community Board 1) and Downtown Brooklyn (Community Board 2) in the first year that it takes affect. In the second year, the area in which complaints could be lodge would expand to all of Manhattan plus Brooklyn community districts 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Queens community district 1, 2 and 3, and Bronx community district 1. (A map of community districts is here.) By year three, the entire city would be covered.

Why do we do this stupid, ridiculous, stuff

No one should be supporting bills that incentivize reporting other citizens to the government.

It makes zero sense, there is NO justification to "phase" this in. It's literally digital, not some "we need to test physical changes to the street" situation or pilot program.

Well to many folks, abortion is seen as a right and should be free from government interference. In this case I am sorry to say that parking illegally is not a debatably constitutionally protected right and therefore I think many people have zero qualms pointing out this behavior to the authorities lol

Streetsblog isn't exactly doing the street safety movement any favors by constantly having typos. It looks ridiculous when they make mistakes your average high school newspaper wouldn't make. Affect vs effect... seriously?

Gutted to the point of uselessness. We need to get a better city council to pass the proper version.
