Petition NYC DOT to protect the 59th St. Bridge Bike Path from refuse thrown from motor vehicles by inconsiderate motorists with a cheap chicken wire barrier between the motorists and pedestrian/bikepath.
I am currently compiling a formal request for the installation of protective netting to be submitted to the Department of Transportation. Several local news outlets have inquired about the frequency of dangerous debris hazards on the path. I will provide a summary of their response after our scheduled review session.

The level of support indicates this issue is now ready for formal review by the Department of Transportation. I have initiated contact with the borough commissioner to request a meeting regarding the installation of a physical barrier.

Ridiculous that people throw stuff at us while we are just trying to bike to work. A simple mesh screen would stop this trash from hitting our heads. Do something about it.
