ILLEGAL MOPED SWEEP
After numerous emails and calls I re-
ceived this summer about illegal mopeds
and electric bikes on the road, I did some
research and decided that Yonkers, Bronx-
ville, and Eastchester needed a moped
detail sweep. I worked alongside our local
police department and the New York State
Troopers, to cover a wide area. After help-
ing to organize the effort I was able to ac-
company County Police’s detail.

BUS SHELTER IMPROVEMENTS
The Board approved replacing 95 old
buses with new hybrid and electric models
and upgrading bus shelters with solar pow-
er, ADA accessibility, and other improve-
ments, including the long-awaited bus
shelter at Central Park Avenue and Sadore
Lane. In February I visited the newly in-
stalled bus shelters on Central Ave north-
bound and southbound next to Sadore
Lane. The bus shelters look terrific and I
was happy to work with the Department
of Public Works to help get this project
done.
