The Adams administration has delayed a vital road safety redesign on Brooklyn's Third Avenue due to objections from local business leaders, prioritizing their unverified fears over public safety.

This pattern of yielding to business interests highlights a concerning trend affecting urban planning and public safety in New York City.
