We continue to have cargo -bikes riding fast across the Rivington Transverse in Sara Roosevelt Park.
Children regularly use this crossing to get to their day-care centers near the Park.
The Transverse is also the path between the Playground and a Community Garden’s Children’s Area (and NYC Parks Senior Protected Space).
Added bonus? Trash with Amazon’s name on it dumped here.
They can cut all the flowers, but they cannot stop the spring
