EVSA-Response to CM Abreu handling the 9/30/26 City Hall Hearing

THANK YOU to all who attended the EVSA RALLY!💜💜💜💜 To those of you that sat for hours yesterday and didn't get to testify, Thank you for being there and I am so sorry. And, for those that had the opportunity to testify after hours of waiting, THANK YOU and I am so sorry. It was unacceptable! SHAME ON SHAUN ABREU and the CITY COUNCIL. Now we know how much they disrespect victims, older New Yorkers and people with disabilities. We always knew. Now there is recorded proof. 📣 We have one immediate and important action... Please call Shaun Abreu's office to complain about how horribly he ran the hearing yesterday Call BOTH numbers below and leave a message on the voicemail or with the intern who answers and let them have it. ****EVSA also mentions that Abreu may have accepted $259,000 from UBER. This could explain his reversal of support for Priscilla's Law to opposing same. Part of a pattern of financial armtwisting employed by corporate and private zealots?**** District Office - 212-928-6814 Legislative Office 212-788-7007

ABC TV 50 yr old female Joco cyclist fatally struck by dump truck

A female cycslist who had worked as a delivery agent was fatally struck on W.34 th St while riding parallel to a dump truck from New Jersay. This is the 20th such fatality in 2026. No mention is made of helmet wearing. AI has another account of the tragic incident. Furhan Ahmed a former NYPD, EMT & FDNY worker has expressed an informed opinion about commercial trucks being heedless of cyclist. Yet the lawless riding culture fomented by Transportaion Alernatives and cohorts has created an increasingly dangerous environment for more than a quarter century.**********https://abc7ny.com/post/manhattan-bicyclist-struck-killed-by-dump-truck-west-34th-street-midtown/19883942/

Former NYPD,FDNY & EMT Furhan Ahmed responds to 2 Girl Tragedy

This is another preventable tragedy with two wrongs. Two teenage girls having a fun evening unfortunately while taking such a huge risk by riding two to one bike! These bikes should have drivers license scan requirements before it allows a rider to unlock them for use. The drivers license pre ride requirement is used on lime scooters in other cities and works well this would be a start! Also heavy enforcement for two people on one bike will also help which I’m sure the city will love because it will generate revenue from summons enforcement. In my experience as a first responder I have responded to too many accidents that caused either serious injury or death at the hands of private contract commercial trucks. Their key requirements for employment of their drivers seems to be “must not give a shit about the laws or humans”. If I see a commercial truck in Manhattan in the evening/am hours I steer clear of them in every and any way. They will run you over they don’t care about you. They must be heavily enforced as much as the TLC enforces taxi drivers. Also NYC must have a Truck safety package installed on all city vehicles and trucks coming from out of state to operate here. This city is too dense to allow that kind of reckless operation. The same goes for citibike/Ebike riders continue to ride e-bikes recklessly without any kind of accountability these accidents will continue. I don’t want to blame the truck driver for anything I did not first hand witness or am involved in the investigation. I am simply sharing my opinion of commercial trucks accidents I witnessed in my experience as a first responder caused by those vehicles

2 girls on Citibike Hit by Truck 15 yr old dies.

Friday night 9-18-26. First Ave and 14th St. 2 teenage girls riding a Citibike were hit by a truck while turning the corner. 15 year old died. 16 year old survived at Bellevue Hospital. One of the commentors makes a handful of good points as to why it was not a good situation. Were they wearing helmets? So sad. Another needless accident that results from the years of a bike culture that has taken New York public for a ride. Transportation Alternatives clamors for corner reconstruction. Those girls didn't belong on the bike at that time of night in the first place. So sick Transportation Alternatives-Charles" the Sophist" Komanoff and Mark "Big Bucks" Gorton. So sad for the families of the girls and the community.************https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-7uuxwTFpE
