Street safety activists are livid that a promising bill to encourage greater ticketing of drivers who dangerously park in bike and bus lanes has been watered down to remove key provisions, including a financial incentive for the person reporting the illegal parking, while also adding in new burdens on would-be complainants.
Chairman Yidel Perlstein expressed sympathy for a resident who got ticket for going more than 10 miles per hour in a school zone — because she hit the gas to pass a person on a bike.
