NYC cyclists see tenfold increase in criminal summonses under NYPD push

 

Union Street near 28th Avenue in Flushing

Around the corner from my home

I am happy to read in the Gothamist that the NYPD is issuing more summonses to cyclists who violate the law. There is a very wide sidewalk on Union Street between 28th Avenue and 31st Road.  Cyclists regularly ride there even though there is a bike path on the street.  They often whiz by pedestrians.  I understand that there cannot be a policeman on every street.  I hope that more cyclists riding on the sidewalk will be given summonses.
