The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
After the Daily News reported on a single abandoned bike that was evidence that its owner had been seized by ICE, our Summer Specialist Matthew Sage found four more chained-up two-wheelers likely brought to lower Manhattan by immigrant workers who thought they were merely making a regular court appearance only to never come out.
It’s a gripping story, and it won’t be the last.
In other news, our other amazing Summer Specialist Yoshi Omi-Jarrett journeyed to the base of the Williamsburg Bridge to watch cops entrap cyclists at a badly-designed entrance/exit. It’s a great Friday video.
Plus headlines and more news below. Have a great weekend.
