Gounardes Fools Us – Bill for Cyclists
I am so tired of the government and “Know It Alls” trying to make everyone pay.
This is the bill Gounardes is talking about in the video above. Notice it’s for bicyclist safety and how to pass a bicyclist on the road! Ughhh.
Last week, Frank died on our streets. Frank wasn’t on a bicycle. He was killed by someone driving car.
The driver of the vehicle that killed Frank appears to have an interesting driving history. The driver wasn’t even arrested. Why didn’t Senator Gounardes do anything about that?
Gounardes plays up to the bike community and this bill is so he gets their support. Gounardes can’t hear Bay Ridge saying ENOUGH with the bike community!
Gounardes’ tweet hid that this is a bill for cyclists.
NY State Senate’s tweet was much more forthcoming:
Gounardes solution is to punish drivers…..c’mon this is not going to change the streets.
Ridgites came up with solutions for the streets, but “Know-It-Alls” can’t hear them:
1) We all know there is no law enforcement in that area. If you go to other neighborhoods, there are police vehicles all over the streets. In our area, you rarely see police cars (please don’t tell me they are undercover because they aren’t undercover when they make a ride to get coffee or dinner). The Neighborhood Policing Program stops the NYPD from patrolling and keeps them in the police station. Gounardes either has to work with the NYPD or hire outside law enforcement to be on the street. Stop wasting government money on nonsense not-for-profit ventures to pick up votes and use it to hire officers.
2) If speeding is the issue, send the repeat offender back to DMV for a class and test. Why does everyone else have to suffer because of a few jerks who break the law repeatedly.
3) People talked about the pedestrian street light not being long enough. If the light isn’t long enough, then put a delay on the lights.
Protip: Whenever you see Gounardes on a bill with Alessandra Biaggi, get ready for the game of politics. Biaggi has no reason to pass any bills for Bay Ridge or to help the people here.
