City Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez shamelessly exploited a visit to the scene of a deadly Staten Island crash to tout unrelated local new bike lanes Monday and should apologize, a local pol says.
“Our DOT commissioner just showed up for a photo op at the site of last night’s horrific accident, which tragically claimed the lives of three teenagers, to announce that DOT will be installing bike lanes and turning lanes over a half a mile away,” City Councilman Joe Borelli (R-South Shore) fumed in a Facebook post.
Borelli blasted Rodriguez’s visit as nothing but “shameless exploitation” and accused him of staging “a photo up” over the controversial planned bike lanes on Hylan Boulevard between Satterlee Street and Page Avenue.
Borelli said the bike-lane proposal, which the city Department of Transportation unveiled in June, “was strongly opposed by the community board, elected officials, and residents in community surveys.”
He noted that there are already bike lanes at the intersection where teenage siblings Fernanda Gil and Jesie Gil and 15-year-old pal Ashley Rodriguez died when the car they were in collided with another vehicle Sunday night.
The accident had nothing to do with bicycles.
“This is the most shameless exploitation I have ever seen by a city official to push through an unpopular agenda he had long sought to see through,” Borelli wrote.
“In other words, when he heard of this accident, he decided it was a good moment to push more miles of bike lanes. He should resign.”

Prime example of why sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut.
Cringe worthy. He can't help it, Democrats are taught to see people as part of victim groups they can pander to.

TA commie pigs are spreading lies. Sad, very sad...
No worries, no one can understand a word he says anyway.
Grandstanding activist, rich sponsors.
TATurd™
A generation of brainwashed Sheeple voted for this Crap !
School Board candidates don’t usually get much attention during election cycles but they should ALL be throughly vetted. This is where it all begins and regardless of you have kids or not, you’re voting for people that are shaping the next generation of leftoids.
THe Dept of Transportation Alternatives regards Bike Lane as a "Traffic Calming" measure. So it's alright to put pedestrians at risk to justify installing a bike lane, they're fucking nuts and Ydanis is an asshole.
And Transportation Alternatives Announced the "Tour de Staten Island" Today, how fucking insensitive is that. Boy Talk about tone deaf!
It will be on September 18 2022.
What a bunch of dickheads
Using the most powerful nation on the planet as a petri dish is not really a well thought out game plan.
Prove Me Wrong...
Why are they waiting for a car crash to do this?
Woke libs for ya.
Freedom and liberty come with the responsibility of self-reliance and self-control.
Vote these sick Dems out of office.
Pushing the TA's agenda to add more bike lanes after 3 young people lost their lives is shameful and disgusting.
Bike-lane proposal “was strongly opposed by the community board, elected officials, and residents in community surveys.”
Yet the donors and the bike nazis at Transportation Alternative and the DOT always get their way.
Why bother with community boards input and community surveys when they are ALWAYS ignored?
If cars and their irresponsible drivers are killing and maiming everyone, then it’s time to get them off the road.
More green space, bike lanes, pedestrian areas for normal people.
Dose Danny Harris pull this guys strings ?
Asking for a friend...
Funny, Republican States, like Florida/TEXAS for example do not have these problems.....
And does anyone remember this about that perv?

Good news for regular sheeple. Bad news for grumpy old whiners.
Jason Whitlock brought to light something that the ancient French philosopher, Voltaire said. Voltaire said that if you can make people believe in absurdities , you can make them do atrocities. Nothing more sums up what the far left is attempting to do to this country. We must not sit quietly and put up with this insane and evil force that is trying to destroy us.
Vote Them All out this November !
Yikes ! Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez was Guilty of Inappropriately 'Touching' Staffer !
@f cars and their irresponsible drivers are killing and maiming everyone, then it’s time to get them off the road.

Get lost creep with your TA activist propaganda!

Danny Harris, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, said the New Jersey law would lead to increased “deadly traffic violence.”
Who the fuck is Danny fucking Harris to dictate anything? Who the fuck elected him to what office and when?
Some serious investigation is needed into this activist influencing operation with some very rich and shady sponsors who represent the Great Rest Global Crime Syndicate!
Since when is Lyft, Bloomberg, Pfizer and Citibank allowed to determine citizen's daily lives based on their bottom line?
Saving lives? Some people get a dozen speed camera tickets! One real ticket with 8 points on the license will make people think twice about speeding!
Also the bike terrorists murdering pedestrians left and right, no insurance, no license plate, on electrical vehicles capable of speeds in excess of 30 miles per hour.
Worry about abortion? Well punks, medical procedure has no place in Constitution, but due process does!!!!
How is the speed camera ticketing scam, where profits go 60% to the city and 40% to the camera "industry" running the scam is Constitutional then?
Due process anyone?
Take your Climate Change, Covid-19 scam and Great Reset and shove it.
Democrats at their finest.
The low IQ voters still think the dems are the answer.
Why doesn't Ydanis the "shameless exploiter" have press conferences and stand in front of the cameras when people are shot and killed by teenagers and gangbangers riding on their bicycles and electric mopeds on sidewalks and shooting their guns off?
Oh that's right, those crimes don't involve vehicles and Transportation Alternatives bike Nazi Money!
@“ The low IQ voters still think the dems are the answer.”
0 IQ voters think TrumpTurd is the answer.
Bitches be crazy said...
DONT REACT TO INSANE PEOPLE, Most Transportation Alternatives I talk to are crazy nuts...
A stark warning to all not to believe anything coming from the mouth of someone who uses the phrase “Follow the science”.
It is the phony environmentalists who are destroying our environment.
Retired scientists and atmospheric physicists know as fact 'Global Warming' is a scam.
Do all TA's belong to the cult of the New Green Scam ? Evidence of the fraudulent intentions with all the bike lanes and racks taking away city owned parking spots/sidwalks/streets and giving them to Global Compaines to make money off our public city property built with tax payer money.
Seems like some idiot here thinks that bikes are the root of all crime. Same idiot never heard of a getaway car before? In this world, there are idiots and there are mega idiots. That clown is beyond mega idiot. In fact, that poster gives idiots a bad name.
Do all TA's belong to the cult of the New Green Scam ?
Heck no. they are the Rent-an-Activist organization, see their sponsors.
@ In fact, that poster gives idiots a bad name.
Says the Rent-an-Idiot activist commie on his rich sponsors' money.
FRAUD!

How are bike lanes calm for the elderly who walk with canes and mothers who push their babies in strollers and for people who use a wheelchair to get across the street who have to worry if they will be run over by bicyclists, motorcyclists, dirt bikers and atv riders who ignore the stop signs and red lights and run them over and leave them to die in the streets?

@Traffic Calming"
Beware, this phrase is being used worldwide, part of the WEF Great Reset scam dictionary.
These scumbags need to be shipped to Mars on Elon's Space-X ASAP.
No need for reset, they can start anew, chip each other and enjoy Sun caused, real climate change.
Time to start arresting car drivers for murdering pedestrians and cyclists.
Republican state of Indiana (anything outside of Bloomington and Indianapolis) doesn't have these problems either>
More Climate TA Bike Nazis with their crazy BS New Green Scam.

Just because you're in a position of authority does not mean you are a leader, case in point
@Time to start arresting car drivers for murdering pedestrians and cyclists.
Time to start arresting corrupt activist, communist scum, bike terrorist, freeloaders and other select supporters of the Schwab criminal syndicate.
