"Council Speaker Adrienne Adams will block a proposed law to ban parking near intersections, the visibility-improving street design also known as daylighting, from coming to a vote, according to advocates, who accused the top city lawmaker of stifling the common-sense safety design. The speaker cut the bill from a list of proposals that could still come up for a vote at the Council's last full session on Dec. 18, daylighting proponents said."
Streetsblog requests tax-deductible donations to support free, high-quality journalism and to advance efforts to end car dependency, offering a special gift for major supporters during an annual fundraiser. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams removed a daylighting bill banning parking within 20 feet of corners from the Dec. 18 list of proposals, forcing re-issuance in the next session and delaying safety improvements. The legislation, Intro 1138 by Council Member Julie Won, reportedly enjoys majority Council support but was cut from the agenda. Transportation Alternatives and Open Plans criticized the decision as prioritizing obstruction over street safety.
