A Lot of Revel Scooters in Bay Ridge Recently
Revel is a electric scooter sharing company. Recently, Bay Ridge is seeing a lot of these bikes on the streets.
Around JJ Carty Park, multiple parking spots are taken by the construction company working at the park. Now Revel scooters are taking up spots. I wonder who Revel lobbied?
How is a private company able to use public parking spots? We saw this happen before with Get Around Car Sharing (and years ago by Cars2Go). Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso was lobbied. (See here)
Community Board 10 had a meeting and ONLY Get Around Car Sharing company presented. (Info) The California company received several permanent parking spots in our community, even though they had never had a car-sharing company in NYC!
Why didn’t Community Board 10 reject the car sharing companies because Bay Ridge already has at least two car sharing companies that paid rent (at the old Century’s Parking lot). (Info)
Community Board 10 should have revealed that Reynoso was lobbied (See here) and that Senator Andrew Gounardes supported GetAround. (See video of Senator Gounardes)
There is no one standing up for Bay Ridge! Elect new people.
