After a Man Died From an Accident on 86th Street, People Called for Scooter Safety. Justin Brannan Pointed Instead of Taking Action
Not one politician from this area mentioned the man who died or expressed any sympathy for him. (Info)
This didn’t surprise me because politicians didn’t express sympathy over Xingchun Rong, an Asian mother who was killed by an e-bike on 19th Avenue. (See here) Frontus was recovering from surgery, but the male politicians were silent.
Councilman Justin Brannan voted in favor of the e-scooters in NYC in June 2020.
Brannan and other politicians didn’t put forth any safety measures to use this equipment. The strange part is the politicians didn’t even take the time to work wit the NYPD on how this could be done safely. Many of the people who voted with Brannan are no longer in office.
Politicians don’t understand that many Brooklynites would misuse the technology. How many people have to die in our community before politicians pass safety measures?
People regularly share pictures on social media of delivery drivers riding the on the sidewalk.
This week, people called on Brannan to regulate the bikes. Instead of taking action, Brannan pushed it off onto the state:
If you voted for Justin Brannan……is this the response that you thought he would give someone after voting for e-scooters and seeing Brooklynites getting hurt and even dying.
