The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
Sophia Lebowitz is back with more coverage of the shadowy world where illegal high-speed motorized two-wheelers — aka e-motos — are still openly sold despite Mayor Mamdani’s cease-and-desist letter to the likes of Facebook Marketplace and Amazon.
Lebowitz’s review of the 42 recipients of the letter found that most had halted online sales of the street-illegal devices, but Facebook Marketplace and Temu are still defying the mayor.
If they keep it up, the city could invoke fines of $2,000 per day per device, which could add up to real money pretty quickly, even for someone who owns a private island.
Also in today’s newsletter, a fond adieu to Summer Streets, today’s headlines and oh so much more.
