CBS New York June 2, 2021 The life of a beloved Queens real estate broker was cut short after she was struck by an e-bike while walking to get dinner. The motorized bikes are now part of the city's rapidly changing streetscape, and, as CBS2's Lisa Rozner reported Tuesday, citywide there has been a spike in pedestrian traffic fatalities. There was a helmet and an e-bike on its side in the pouring rain at the corner of 21st Avenue and 31st Street in Astoria on Friday.
