Brewer questions on pedicabs as alternative and electric cars
Brewer raises pedicabs as a tourism alternative and asks the administration's position. Ortiz says DCWP is ready to engage on pedicab reforms. Brewer also confirms no one is discussing electric cars as a replacement.
Okay, and then the other, so we got workers, horses, jobs, and tourists.
And so I am supportive of tourists using pedicabs.
Is that something that you support?
Have you had any thoughts about it?
Obviously we have legislation that hasn't been finalized, but we're thinking about it.
Is that something that you think could address the need for tourists?
I take pedicabs.
You should see me.
I know how to do it.
But I know how to organize how much I pay.
So I'm just wondering what you're thinking about tourism for the future in Central Park.
I think pedicabs will still be an ongoing activity that's happening in Central Park.
You know, I did notice a few months back, I think, that the Midtown Community Justice Center released a report of recommendations as it relates to the pedicab industry.
I think many of the recommendations in there were well taken, and certainly if we're looking to strengthen or improve the pedicab industry as a substitute in the future, DCUP will be ready to engage in that conversation too.
I think it had a lot to do with that report, so I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
