Midday News: City Cracks Down on Reckless Delivery Drivers, Stormy Weather Ahead, and NYC Expands Pollinator Gardens

New York City’s transportation department plans to hire dozens of new officers to crack down on reckless delivery drivers on mopeds and e-bikes. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service is warning of showers, thunderstorms, and possible flash flooding across the metro area starting Tuesday. Plus, as global pollinator populations decline, the city’s parks department is working to protect bees and butterflies with 23 pollinator-friendly gardens across the five boroughs. Matthew Morrow, director of horticulture for NYC Parks, and Georgina Cullman, an ecologist with the department, discuss the effort. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
