City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams (D-28) and New York State Sen. Leroy Comrie (D-14) held a press conference in downtown Jamaica calling for an immediate pause and reset of the DOT-led e-scooter program in Southeast Queens.

On Friday, Oct. 11, the local lawmakers were joined by Reverend Carlene Thorbs, chairperson of Community Board 12, and members of the 149th St. South Ozone Park Civic Association, who held up images of e-scooters haphazardly parked in front of residential houses and laid on sidewalks.
