The Throggs Neck BID, along with Community Board 10 and almost all of the local community, oppose NYC’s “Road Diet” plan that would reduce lanes on a portion of East Tremont Avenue and further reduce drive-able space by the addition of a bike lane.

As they have consistently done in other areas that have had unwanted “Road Diets” imposed, the Department of Transportation ignored the overwhelming local opposition. 

Community Board 10 District Manager Mathew Cruz writes:

“NYCDOT will not consider reducing any of the road diets or delaying its implementation until appropriate street lighting is installed. NYCDOT will not consider new speed cameras in replace of any road dieting. NYCDOT will not consider removing the proposed bicycle lanes…Community Board #10 offered real suggestions to which, again, NYCDOT wanted to hear nothing of it. I am told that the projects could commence as early as next week. It is unfortunate the tone city agencies are now taking with Community Boards.”

Pursuant to Local Law 34 of 2020, cashless establishments are prohibited in New York City, effective November 19, 2020. Establishments covered by the law include:

• Food Stores: Establishments that offer food or beverages to the public for consumption or use on or off the premises, or on or off a pushcart, stand or vehicle; and
• Retail Establishments: Establishments that offer consumer commodities, or where services are provided to consumers at retail. This does not include banks or trust companies.

On November 19, 2020, it will be unlawful for a food store or a retail establishment to refuse to accept payment in cash from consumers, unless payment is in:

1. Cash bills denominated above $20; or
2. Cash for any telephone, mail, or internet-based transaction, unless the payment for such transaction takes place on the premises of the food store or retail establishment.

Additionally, no food store or retail establishment shall charge a higher price to a consumer who pays in cash. The law exempts food stores or retail establishments that provide a device on premises that converts cash, without charging a fee or requiring a minimum deposit amount greater than one dollar, into a prepaid card that allows a consumer to complete a transaction at the establishment.
