My family and I run a local store, Queens Meat and Deli. Over the years, we have been proudly serving the neighborhood, and employing local people. However, our livelihood is now under threat because of the placement of Lime ebike parking right at the entrance of our store. This ebike stand is robbing us and our customers of much-needed parking spaces, hampering our day-to-day business operation. The City didn’t take into consideration the many elderly and disabled people that shop at our store. It's a known fact; convenient parking makes a significant difference in a retail business's success like ours. We, as a small business, contribute to the local economy - but this action from the City means we can't perform our business to the fullest. Additionally, customer complaints have increased, and we feel the frustration reflected in our revenues. We ask that the Lime ebike parking be relocated from the front of the Queens Meat and Deli to a location that will not negatively impact our business. This move would allow us to continue contributing to our community's growth, preserve customer satisfaction, and maintain our livelihood. Please, help our local business to stand strong again by signing this petition.

Thank you,

Florin, Camelia and the team
