Parking is too often the reason we can't have nice things. I certainly don't expect this mayor to have the spine to take a stand. "Motivate had been in talks with City Hall to expand its fleet by another 50 percent, with the service area reaching parts of the Bronx. But Mayor de Blasio did not want the next round of bike-share expansion to replace on-street parking spaces, according to one source familiar with the negotiations."
