In response to the Adams administration's inadequate performance in street safety initiatives, the City Council approved two bills aimed at increasing transparency from the Department of Transportation (DOT). The first bill requires a tracker for projects related to the 'Streets Master Plan' while the second bill requires a general tracker for all capital projects. Council leadership highlights the consistent shortfall in achieving street safety milestones, and advocates agree that transparency is crucial, though they emphasize that mere tracking does not replace the need for concrete action on the projects.
The city has consistently fallen short on its milestones in the Streets Master Plan, including the miles of protected bus and bike lanes required to be built each year.
Certainly they're good bills, it's important to have transparency to progress; however, tracking is nothing without action to back it up.
