NYPD to be Grilled on Traffic Deaths?
The New York City Council transportation committee has scheduled a hearing on last year's alarming rise in NYC pedestrian and cyclist deaths (City Hall, 1 p.m., Monday, May 22). The advocacy group Right of Way will present a report documenting that most fatal bicycle crashes in New York City are caused by aggressive or careless motorists, refuting the NYPD's often-repeated claim that three-quarters of cyclist fatalities are the cyclist's fault.
