OPINION: Open plea for protest, another cyclist killed in Park Slope
Dear Fellow Brooklynites
I just heard devastating news. This morning, a cyclist was killed by the driver of an 18-wheel truck in Park Slope.
We don’t know the details yet, but we do know that the driver was not on a legal truck route. We know that his truck was larger than trucks are legally allowed to be inside city limits. We know one other thing too: This is what happens when City Hall does not protect cyclists and pedestrians.
I am upset and angry. I’m sure you are too. Please, take a minute to tell Mayor de Blasio that we need him to do more.
