NYC has 420 miles of bicycle paths... the most of any city in America. Mayor Bloomberg wants four times more though, with a goal to reach 1,800 miles in twenty years. Many riders on four wheels say these paths cause street confusion and congestion. Those on two wheels are generally happy with the mayor’s support. One-wheeled unicyclists could not be reached for comment.▼

NYC was settling lawsuits involving malpractice and faulty surgeries so long as the alleged faulty physicians are dropped from the suits! The city’s policy enabled doctors to reduce their risk of review before the Health and Hospital Corporation and to avoid public scrutiny. The government, which is supposed to act in the public’s interest, seems to be guilty of malpractice itself.▼

$49.5 million was handed to developer Larry Silverstein by the Port Authority because they failed to meet a work deadline. This wasn’t the first deadline they missed or the first penalty that they paid. Just how many years lead time does the Port Authority require to complete their work on time for the benefit of New Yorkers?▼

The famous Coney Island rocket first appeared on NYC's scene in 1962. It was a 26-passenger movie theater that vibrated as viewers watched a "journey to the moon" movie. More recently, it sat motionless atop a Boardwalk food stand. New plans for Coney are forcing it out. From Brooklyn to the Smithsonian, no organization was interested in displaying this famous icon. Let’s hope the rocket finally touched down in a safe location.▼

Bangladesh immigrant, Munnu Dewan, served unsanitary hot dogs and received a $300 fine. He appeared before the city’s Environmental Control Board. Because of language difficulties, neither side really seemed to understand the other. He appealed his case to the New York Supreme Court which ruled that he was entitled to a new hearing with a translator so he could understand the charges against him. Shouldn't he have thought to bring his own translator to court in a foreign country with a foreign language? Wouldn't you? Only in America... and New York City.▼
