It's not clear how much traction his idea really has because it's opposed by the Central Park Conservancy.

So the Central Park Conservancy is a nonprofit that operates Central Park with a contract with New York City and with the Parks Department.

And the Conservancy says it's opposed to his idea because it does not want motorized vehicles in the park.

There are some exceptions to this.

as of October 18th, there have been 26 e-bike and e-scooter accidents in Central Park this year.

Sounds like a great background.

[upbeat music] New York has about 7 million trees.

We'll be watching them closely this month as they transition from green to a variety of autumnal colors, but only some of them make the New York City Parks Department list of, quote-unquote, "great trees." Those are trees that have historic, botanical, or cultural significance, like a Southern magnolia in Bed-Stuy that was slated to be cut down in 1968 until a local resident fought to save it, or a white ash in the Bronx that is a beautiful but increasingly rare representative of its species, which is now threatened by a beetle, or a row of pin oaks in Queens that stands as a tribute to local soldiers who died in World War I.

You want to take, take a moment to appreciate the city's trees and to hear what you like about them.
