On Thursday, the City Council passed new legislation aimed at enhancing safety and inclusivity. A significant bill prohibits noisy, non-essential helicopter flights from city heliports following a tragic accident in the Hudson River that claimed multiple lives. The bill aims for cleaner, quieter airspace by 2029 and received strong support.
