Publicize/Bring issues touching individual voters to the forefront: Consumer Protection

Hello Mark,
As stated in my sign-up message on your Web site, I am still puzzled as to why you do not bring out to the forefront of your campaign what you have done for New Yorkers in the consumer protection arena.
People take interest in a candidate who is poised to help them in matters they feel powerless to tackle as an individual. A recurrent variation in the theme is a consumer wronged by a business entity or a government agency unwilling to redress the issue fairly.
Best wishes,
Ben

In March 1991, Mark Green charged six companies with deceptive environmental claims, labeled "green collar fraud". Perhaps it is time again to research and uphold companies to their environmental claims. The FTC has taken action against various companies, including Kmart Corp. for their false claims on "biodegradable" products just this year. As a lover of the environment and this city, I think it's important that we make sure the companies in our community are upholding their so-called standards and claims.

The Bloomberg Administration plans to spend a half billion dollars on a 120' high sanitation parking and maintenance facility on Spring and Washington Streets. They intend to consolidate 3 districts into the facility, despite the Fair Share provisions of the City Charter.
Chinatown Buses - Unregulated & Unhealthy

The Chinatown bus industry is out of hand. I'm not sure what about the law that makes it legal to set up a bus depot out of any storefront. The buses clog traffic, park for hours in front of hydrants, pollute the air while idling for hours, and the passengers (most who come from other neighborhoods) loiter and litter on the sidewalks because there are no facilities for them. This puts an unfair burden the neighborhood.
Biking New York

Compared to other U.S. and European cities, New York City is way behind the times in providing for bikers. If we had convenient (separate) bike paths on some of the avenues, Manhattan would be highly navigable because it's flat. We also have 9 months of decent weather. In Paris the city has in the past 18 months set up bike rental locations all over the city. You use your credit card to take a bike from one of the parking lots and then return it to a parking lot close to you destination. It's an amazingly efficient enjoyable and (Mark) Green way to cross the city.
Need a contiguous bike lane from Brooklyn to Manhattan (and back...)

There is still no way to bike from Brooklyn to Manhattan without risking your life getting to and from the bridges. There should be a dedicated bike lane that is strictly enforced and safe to ride, but that also doesn't require bikers to go around in huge circles and detours.
It's almost as if the DOT is just interested in letting cars in and out of the city, rather than PEOPLE. Just imagine if car drivers had to stop their car and carry it on their shoulder to get on the Manhattan Bridge!
