Host Trenae Nuri poses this question to executive producer Matt Katz and Nic Esposito, who once served as the city’s zero waste and litter director. They also talk about how e-bikes and e-scooters have taken over city streets and proposed legislation to tackle these vehicles in Philadelphia and in Pennsylvania. Plus, there are more Lebron James sightings, well sort of, around town.  Do you have some feelings about e-bikes and e-scooters?
