Friday Video: A New Urbanist Heard From
We’re so happy to present the Streetsblog debut of Joel Katuala, who has been a prolific pro-bike YouTuber for about a month now.
His latest contribution? A short video lambasting Mayor Adams — and, by extension, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch (who will stay in office) — for the criminal crackdown that began on cyclists that began this spring.
