Sadly, astoria has become infested with a glut of motorized scooters, motorized bikes, regular bikes, etc. These vehicles, in general do not respect traffic laws. Lights and stop signs mean nothing. They drive on sidewalks and the wrong way on one way streets. Driving has become hazardous. Add in the ridiculous outdoor restaurant extensions and we have a growing recipe for disaster. Clearly, something needs to be done. Will it be done???
