#ImpuntyCity breaking news

Good trouble comes to city hall

@TransAlt fake protest for bike lanes on McGuiness Blvd. gets bum rushed by @NYCDriversunite leader Raul Rivera.


Image
Image
Image
Image
@TransAlt "partner" "open street" organizer Kevin Lacherra is hosting this latest mockery of protesting. Standing beside hilawakers @LincolnRestler @Gonzalez4NY @julia_carmel and @BKBPReynoso to give this farce legitimacy and heavy scientologist cult vibes
While scoping and quietly narrating, this guy tells me to stop talking to myself and then ignores me when i confront him.

I also notice a city worker who I saw lobbying for ebikes/scooters with @nycpa @NYC_DOT is also protesting.

Your tax dollars literally working here. https://t.co/Yi8Socu4qOtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
The first agency captured shill to speak is @TransAlt number one puppet Linky Restler. Spewing feigned outrage waving a dubious poll and grossly embellishing/lying about the amount of crashes on McGuiness he's been told to report.

Crashes that include pylons getting crushed https://t.co/PlCaqC1Scetwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Here comes the fun part

@BKBPReynoso barely had a minute to bullshit when @NYCDriversunite disrupted fake protest. Rivera confronts BP until Kevin and that goon who hassled me and TA CEO Danny Harris starts pushing him around trying to repress his speech as the loons all chant https://t.co/LJ3kooUUUftwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
Image
As Rivera drops facts,electeds and sign holding lobbyists clam up. Exc one geek astroturfer shouting at Rivera to get out and calling him a crank with @PurpleClarence

Rivera tells press about @TransAlt regulatory capture of @NYC_DOT @NYCMayorsOffice

You can see their fear. https://t.co/JXMGCiEN3wtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
Image
@BKBPReynoso publicly maligns a constituent by claiming he has no supporters. Then one man show Rivera shouts his ass down calling him a con and cosplay protesters clowns and informing the public how rich @DannyHarris_TA is.

Rivera calls Williams a phony @nycpa. https://t.co/i3aZYH3b6ntwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
Image
As Rivera feeds Reynoso his lunch, @TransAlt stooges get touchy and try to oppress his freedom of speech. White shirt ignores me and bucket hat guy backs off when I confront him.

TA thought they can turn a public space into a public realm where only their voices are allowed. https://t.co/Lveqwtu3xytwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
Image
@nycpa asks for a "mic check" for bike lanes

This is an insulting mockery of the Occupy Wall St. Protests 14 years ago about the bank bailouts and wealth concentration at the top

Ironic being that 99% of New Yorkers collectively despise @Transalt or don't know who they are
After Williams speech I see another man hassle @NYCDriversunite with bucket hat astroturfer. I ask him if he's a cop and nervously wisecracks. Rivera said he was from TransAlt too.

This is the behavior and tactics of brown shirts and cliquish bratty teenagers

Or hedge fund bros https://t.co/BV9TAXYBsztwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
Fake socialist @Gonzalez4NY comes on and an @Openplans snarky lady tells me "people died" on McGuinness. And said it with this expression on her face. I told her people died where I'm from too. I wonder if she's a lobbyist

They really don't care

#TransporationNihilists https://t.co/OyjL0MG14ftwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
When fake socialist Sen. Salazar went up @GershKuntzman tells me to quiet down

The atmosphere at the moment and the ridiculousness of this charade performance protest made it hard to. And the fact that these people really are destroying NYC

Rivera got Linky running to his aide https://t.co/wYaIVNTm1wtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Image
Image
Image
@DannyHarris_TA admonishes @NYCMayor after 3 years of TA Lobbyists access to city Hall, regulatory capturing @NYC_DOT and hired one of them as a public realm chief.

@GershKuntzman tells me to be quiet when I narrate these facts. Sorry Gersh, but this ends today
@NydiaVelazquez blatantly lies how protected bike lanes make streets safer but like everyone there ignores how lawless bikers, ebikers and unlicensed motor scooters have taken over these lanes

He reveals he drives a car and how the Blvd works good for other drivers. Like him.
At the endI was approached by @PIX11News @gregmocker and right when I was talking to him, the white shirt stooge interrupted and Greg stopped talking to me.

Turns out @EmilyAssembly chief of staff and Lecherras pal Andrew Epstein. he kept calling me a weirdo to discredit me


Image
Image
Image
Image
While departing, @TransAlt lobbyist and 34th Ave open street defacto CEO Juan Restrepo tapped me and called me by my name. I later confronted him and asked him how's that e-micromobility thing going and show him a picture of the Madison St. ebike shop fire that killed 4 people...


Image
Image
Image
Image
@TransAlt I noticed his new ebike and said "nice motorcycle". He angrily responded it was an ebike and I corrected him by pointing at the big battery at the bottom of the frame and saying that's his engine and #EbikesAreMotorcycles. Then he walked away with @OpenPlans Clarence.

Fin

@TransAlt @OpenPlans I wish I had pics and footage of me and Juan little talk but I ran out of GB. I really need a cheap new phone with more room so a little donation might help. Besides, I am somebody now that elites are telling me to shut up

gofundme.com/f/impunity-city
@TransAlt @OpenPlans One mo thing

Its hilarious how @Transalt got pissy when @NYCDriversunite
brought a bullhorn to their protest when months ago they were more louder and riotous when they disrupted an anti-congestion pricing protest

Some good trouble is better than others

Sorry nydia, your staffer said this but it's still a bunch of bullshit

While 100s of streets in Queens are filled with cracks, potholes, divots and sinkholes (I prove it everyday) @NYC_DOT and these mental cases are spending tax dollars producing "pop up" workshops to get the 88 million dollars for their fcking fake park

qchron.com/editions/queen…
The Paseo people are getting crazier. Their leader Luz justifies this lunacy saying she never had access to green space despite the existence of Travers Park.

And since @CMShekarK fake moped crisis town hall, food app psychos are still speeding on 34th on ebike and motorcycles
Image
Image
Paseo people cult leader Dawn Siff, who nobody elected to office, has outsourced the next redesign to an urbanist Architect firm WXY to help @NYC_DOT fix or worsen the mess they made. Wanna bet they are the ones who asked for 88 million?

These people must be stopped. Image

#ImpunityCity Exclusive Report

@NYC_DOT public realm proposal for the Grand Army Plaza. Which is entirely influenced and written by lobbyist non profit org @TransAlt.




Image
Image
I had trouble finding a place to park my bike because there were no bike racks around. But I found some space at the front gate at the end. @KathyParkPrice cargo ebike is at the front.

This becomes very important later on.
@Chrislejohnyc directed me to a line to ask @NYC_DOT questions about their latest stupidity.

This gentrifier asks DOT if they can Institute street redesigns without input from the community

Even though this is community outreach

And he's a member of CB8.

What a rat

#ImpunityCity Special. #BikeNYC Report.

@TransAlt's "Cyclist Safety" protest ride for "Safe Street

@LAShepard221 thanks me for coming. I forgot to thank her for invading @NYCPlanning public realm "workshop" plan in Jamaica.

Then everyone runs the first red light on 14th St.
As I was actually doing cyclist safety @TransAlt Marshalls blocked the bus for the bike rally to go thru (remember, these lobbyists pushed for this busway so it wouldn't have delays)

Then my bungee cord got stuck on my freewheel cog.

@LAShepard221, did somebody mess with it?
More cyclist safety violations ensue...

Three privileged @CitiBikeNYC riders coming the wrong way on 12th st. and @TransAlt bike rally runs 3 red lights. Which is highly antithetical to @DannyHarris_TA speech respecting all commuters on wheels and foot and "Safe Streets now!"

Yesterday in #NewYorkRealm

Rode to Greenpoint to do the McGuinness Blvd challenge on #BikeNYC to see what @TransAlt and their Make McGuinness safe grift and fear mongering was about

It's mostly safe except for the presence of unlicensed motor scooters, ebikes and bike riders
Plenty of room to ride a bike here. It's actually safer than riding on Cross Bay Blvd. In Ozone Park and Howard Beach where there's more space and double parking.

And not many people ride bikes in Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
Still alive and in one piece riding McGuiness. Even after dodging a cyclist running the red light.

Every car driver is behaving well.

Every bike rack that stole parking spaces are mostly unused.

There is no bike boom in NYC
