Endorsements for June 23 2026 Election

For the purposes of The Coalition Against Rogue Riding-PUBLIC SAFETY on the streets and sidewalks CARR supports REP. DAN GOLDMAN for return to Congress from District 10. For the Assembly seat from NYS D 66 Carr supports both DAVID SIFFERT and FURHAN AHMAD. They have both demonstrated a concern for and worked on behalf of the community. CARR has no doubt both candidates would serve the interest of public safety for D 66.

Electric Vehicle Safety Alliance-Protest @CB #7

This is an account of the hearing about reconfiguration of W 72nd St. The extreme manipulation is representative of what Transportation Alternatives has been concocting for decades. Community Boards. Police statistics. The aptly named Vision Zero has been a putsch of hubris and avarice. Pure zealotry.The public has been taken for a ride. Quality of life bludgeoned. Delivery apps gouge both restaurants and consumers. Public safety shot. Lithium ion fires from bike batteries wreak havoc. Read it and get angry.**************Thank you to those who attended the CB7 Full Board meeting on Tuesday evening at 6:30PM, to speak against W.72nd St. double bike lane redesign. It was a packed house. The 140 in- person speakers were either opposed or in favor of the redesign in fairly equal numbers, HOWEVER, over half people speaking FOR the redesign were from Trans Alt/Families For Safe Streets ( they wore stickers) and do not live on UWS. They were directed by someone within CB7 board, to get there early -and they did- taking up many of the limited capacity seating. EVSA heard of this TA directive being spread through social media, a couple of hours before the meeting and emailed and texted who we could. There were at least 100 people outside who were there before 6PM that didn't get in, and I was one of them. Most were clearly against the bike lane, as I was out there for 45 minutes observing. And there were 170 people on zoom who never got to speak! They were waiting for hours, just to be told 'you can't speak." This happened to many of you. Horrible! CB7 announced their seven new board members at the Tue night meeting, just in time for them to vote on the redesign. Six of the seven voted for it, just enough votes to secure their win- how convenient! The board rushed them in so fast that they hadn't yet told the rejected applicants, such as me, that we weren't selected. I have been rejected for four years in a row. What kind of board or company or organization would EVER publicly announce their new members before notifying the rejected applicants? I will tell you who would.... CB7 would! CB7 is highly infiltrated by the bike lobby, just as they have infiltrated our government agencies, elected officials and our press! These are facts, not conspiracy. Their agenda aligns with the lobbyists, NOT the community they serve. This is highly corrupt, disheartening, and infuriating! Our community boards are now echo chambers

NYT 2 Riders Dead From Head on Crash on 59th St Bridge

Thursday 5/28/26 just after 8 AM a standup scooter likley traveling at a lethal rate of speed crashed into a lightweight pedal bike. 2 fatalities resulted. Push has come to shove. Going on 3 decades of encroaching chaos has resulted in an environment of lurking and naked danger. It's clear that the well funded zealotry of Transportation Alternatives and the avarice of the delivery apps has warped the streets and sidewalks with a lack of safe passage. The NYPD has been undermined with the obstinate resistance of TA to enforcement. Enforcement is the backbone of a responsible bike culture. TA has an addled approach to transportation advocacy. Reckless disregard for public safety. Speed may kill-but a sociopathic disregard for common decency and public safety excacerbates the situation into an environment that is" a kind of terrorism."************** https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/nyregion/queensboro-bridge-nyc-bike-scooter-crash-deaths.html

David Siffert-Candidate-Response to email from CARR RE Priscilla's Law

Here is the thoughtful response to Brown's inquiry about how Siffert would handle the public safety crisis & Priscilla's Law. I responded by further asking about** vicarious liability.** Would the apps-in addition to being responsible for registration and issuing license plates be liable for infractions, ********** RESPONSE FROM DAVID SIFFERT********** Thanks to both of you for reaching out on this! I have a two year old, who I usually bring around in a baby carrier, so I have had a lot of particularly scary encounters with e-bikes and very much understand we have a real problem. I also know how under-reported actual bike collisions are, having many close friends and family members sustain serious injuries and never report them. Rather than Priscilla's Law as-is -- which, honestly, is extremely unlikely to pass -- I would like to put the obligation on delivery apps and Citibike. The reason being that many undocumented people rely on e-bikes, and they are unlikely to register their bikes, often for good reason. This will result in a situation where (a) they will get pulled over for plate violations and be put in danger and (b) our systems to enforce the law on them will be ineffective, and we may wind up with more lawlessness. So here's what I propose: the delivery apps are required to do the registration for each bike that is making deliveries for them, and required to give a license plate to the driver of the bike. We can do something similar for Citibike. This will also allow for certain kinds of automated enforcement that don't rely on NYPD being on every corner -- as I'm sure you know, their idea of enforcement is to let anyone going too fast zoom right by and only stop people biking slowly and safely for minor infractions. I should mention that the current version of Priscilla's Law has no co-sponsors in the Senate and only 4 co-sponsors in the Assembly, so I think putting all our eggs in that one basket for bike safety may wind up an uphill battle. I think requiring the delivery apps and Citibike to do the registration will be a lot more likely to pass. We could do that as an amendment to Priscilla's Law or as a separate bill. I also want to say, once again, how committed I am to dealing with this issue. It affects me and my toddler personally.

CARR email to Candidate David Siffert

Law Professor and father of a 2 year old toddler is a candidate for Assembly D 66. Civil Rights attornery. Law Prof at NYU. Experienced with writing bills and the operation of Albany politics. Following my email to Siffert.Next will appear his timely and thoughtful response.*************** Subject: Public Safety My name is Jack Brown. Veteran of the bike industry Long time advocate for a responsible bike culture and restoring sanity and safety to the streets and sidewalks. Spokesman for the Coalition Against Rogue Riding. See blog.Downtown org. Soho Alliance. CCRC of Chinatown etc. I would like to know your position on Priscilla's Law. You are no doubt aware of the crisis caused by the lack of a responsible bike and micro transport culture. The NYPD having been undermined in the process. The Electric Vehicle Safety Alliance has supported legislation to require registration and licensing of all electric powered e-bikes and stand up scooters. As you may be aware the statistics on accidents caused by the e-bikes are radically under reported. Transportation Alternatives has exercised undue influence since Bloomberg occupied the Mayoral office. They zealously oppose enforcement by the NYPD. Enforcement being the backbone of a responsible bike culture. Some elected public officials have said that they consider Charles Komanoff-the sophist- in- chief of TA- to be delusional. Yet some still succumb to the arm twisting of the well funded TA. Additionally the delivery apps have opposed measures that would restore sanity and safety to the streets and sidewalks. Again, I am most impressed by your record of activity. I await your take on Priscilla's Law-soon to come out of the Transportation Committee for a floor vote in Albany. And how you might pursue rectifying what has been a reckless disregard of the public safety by successive administrations. Thank you for your work and I await your response. Sincerely, Jack Brown

Delivery App PRICE GOUGING Cong. Dan Goldman

Cong.Dan Goldman of the NYC 10th District is takig on the Delivery App price gouging. Fees are stealthily attached to an order just prior to delivery. Hence a hamburger that might have cost $8.00 winds up double that. Pretty steep for cow meat. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise given the way TA & Apps operate. I have little sympathy for the narcissists who cannot be bothered to get off their butts and walk to pick up an order. It is optional to order out or not order out. What does concern me is the fact that the delivery agents are running their hustle to perpetuate both the tip and the time limit. This creates a public safety crisis. The zealotry and greed has fomented a metastasizing crisis that has gone on for more than a quarter century. Ever since the currently decrepit Rudy Giuliani departed reluctantly after 9-11 and 3 times an oligarch Michael Bloomberg assumed the throne and stifled enforcement by the NYPD. Shame on them and the ensuing city fathers who perpetuated a reckless disregard of public safety.*****The COALITION AGAINST ROGUE RIDING again endorses Rep. Dan Goldman for re-election. Primary June 23rd.************+++++++
