Yesterday
afternoon, pedicab-ophiles rallied at Manhattan City Hall for
Councilmember Hiram Monserrate’s press conference where the Queens
legislator outlined the bill he is introducing as an alternative to Resolution 331-A,
the pedicab-regulating bill introduced by City Council Speaker
Christine Quinn. The Quinn-sponsored bill, which has been criticized
for its heavy regulation of the burgeoning pedicab industry, was vetoed
by Mayor Bloomberg last month. Quinn, who is very friendly with the
taxi lobby, has since said she is determined to override the veto
(which would necessitate convincing 22 of her Councilmates to vote with
her), and may try to do so at this Monday’s Council meeting.
