Residents in East Village are frustrated by the overwhelming number of e-bikes parked on 11th Street, causing significant congestion and unhygienic conditions. Locals report that the heavy foot traffic, attributed to delivery workers, is leading to increased trash problems and rat sightings. One resident expressed the toll on his family and the neighborhood's charm, while a real estate manager highlighted the impact on local businesses and rental conditions. An informal parking lot for e-bikes has developed over the past year, worsening issues for residents and businesses alike.
"You have 300 people that are moving back and forth through this sidewalk on any given day. That equals food, that equals trash, and that equals rats."
"They've just literally taken over the entire street. It's grossly affects by business because people don't want to rent my apartments."
