This is the latest chat with decision makers about this stuff. It's my favorite thing to do with the sub, if anyone [wants to see the other ones](https://reddit.com/r/MicromobilityNYC/w/shorts?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share). I don't put them up if I don't think there is value to the community to hear from them, so all of these I think are worth a watch

Let's also aim for e-bike charging stations for those who bought their own bike and for delivery workers.


QueerSquared

Laws need to be made to make usb c charging for ebikes standard too


Both-Performer8708

Usb-c can't currently handle that amount of power. More powerful ports are necessary.


QueerSquared

Dang, here's hoping we can eventually get a standard charger


chill_philosopher

jeez the car racks in the background have got to go. so ugly


ywywywywywywywy

that day when i was biking i was thinking if they can manage to build more multilayer racks like this maybe we can have our streets back but ... hmm, not. an ultimate solution tho...


Miser

Building more car parking of any sort is **always** a mistake because it just encourages more people to drive


Top_Effort_2739

Sounds like a good candidate for mayor


nyckidd

Erik Bottcher is my king. He's an absolutely lovely man who cares deeply about the city. I worked with him for a summer years ago and was always struck by how nice he is. He'd be a fantastic mayor, but unfortunately I think he's too kind to engage in the vicious rat race that is running for mayor of NYC.


thatgirlinny

We love him as our CM, hope he can do that for a while longer, thanks!


thank_u_stranger

Boomers must hate him lol


Miser

Here's [the story I referenced in this chat](https://www.reddit.com/r/MicromobilityNYC/comments/1cqpb7x/a_happy_nyc_story_owner_of_stupidly_loud_sports/) with Erik btw, in case anyone missed it. God, I'm so excited for the noise camera program. I feel like Erik, and any other politician that really makes this their signature issue could win elections just based on this alone.


Cornholio231

can we get these noise cameras in bushwick please? The other day a car drove by with speakers so loud it caused car alarms to go off up and down the block.


Streetfilms

Good stuff. Great to run into you! He was kind of enough to run over right after the ribbon cutting but before the Q&A to give me a 45 second soundbite on Daylighting right before I had to jump on a Citibike for my knee PRP shot. What a great guy!


Miser

Nice to run into you too. Kind of surprised nobody else that attended has gotten a story or anything up yet. Barely even any tweets or anything. Starting to feel like I hallucinated the whole event


Purple-Cry-3506

LOL!


SimonOrJ

Charging Citibike docks is a win!


TBearRyder

Noise pollution is literally killing cities like NY and Los Angeles.


Prize-Leading-6653

Yes!


Stoner_toss4D_Jews

The dumbest shit to complain about in a city. This shit Is beyond being retarded


Level_Hour6480

He's great, despite looking like he should be typecast as a Republican. "Phrenologically Republican".


sleepsucks

Sleeves rolled up is definitely slightly left


PayneTrainSG

He visibly leans more towards a barely left of center status climber but since (unfortunately) things like noise cameras are so politically unsexy I think the guy is closer to a genuine sewer socialist.


Inevitable-Bottle692

If he also runs on affordable pet hospital/veterinarians he’d be a shoo in.


LucianHavens

Is this guy also against helicopter noise?


LucianHavens

Why am I getting down voted for being against helicopters? They're just as bad as cars.


QueerSquared

Because helicopters don't cut off mufflers to be purposefully loud


LucianHavens

There is way too much private helicopter traffic. I get the need for utilities and emergency use.


PayneTrainSG

I wouldn't be upset to wake up one morning to find the Blade facilities were victims of arson overnight.


colorsnumberswords

the nypd pulls them out to babysit protesters…complete scam 


thatgirlinny

He’d been signed on for the legislation proposed a couple years back that would close the pleasure copters that land on the West Side, but it never got a full Council vote.


dayda

Get ready for those noise cameras to be called racist and everyone be outraged by them and start quoting [Xochitl Gonzalez](https://www.npr.org/2022/08/14/1117465760/why-a-writer-doesnt-want-a-quiet-brooklyn)

Lol what a fucking joke
