^Those handful of rich, powerful elitists in New York fighting for the destruction of bike lanes and for the restoration of limousine lanes have spun their selfishness into a "story" in the biased New York Times in no small part because the rich anti-bike elitists have hired a New York PR firm and a white shoe law firm.
It's The Luxury City v. the Livable City. We saw the same thing in SF when all new bike improvements were outlawed for several years while the rich elite and their petroleum-pimping lackeys had their days--er, years--in court. The limousine brigade eventually lost, to the benefit of tens of thousands of local bike commuters. But then we didn't have a Senator using his power and privilege in the way Schumer is doing.
