"That's why we have to fight back, to give people the freedom to do what they want on their own terms and not to be told what to do regularly from people in other parts of the city,"
"If it works in their neighborhood it's fine,"
"Just don't force us to do it."
"With this new proposal, they want to take away all this parking unnecessarily in this area,"
"This is a quiet, residential neighborhood. You can't compare this to somewhere that's a busy place, you can't use a cookie-cutter approach on this."
Local community and civic leaders in Great Kills, Staten Island united to oppose Intro 1138, a proposed law to mandate universal daylighting across New York City. Borough President Vito Fossella led the opposition, contending that the measure would remove parking near intersections citywide without accounting for Staten Island's local needs. Residents and civic organizations described the proposal as a cookie-cutter approach unsuited to quiet, residential neighborhoods and warned of unnecessary parking losses. Multiple community board managers and civic leaders joined the rally and named affected neighborhoods and groups. Attendees also noted that the New York City Department of Transportation opposes the plan and cited an agency report.
