Daylighting Bill Fails in City Council
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
City Council Halts Universal Daylighting Measure, Disappointing Safe Streets AdvocatesThe City Council has decided not to vote on a proposal to implement universal daylighting before the current session ends. This measure aims to eliminate parking near intersections to improve safety. Outgoing City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams made the decision, sparking criticism from safe streets advocates. The legislation, known as Intro One One Three Eight, would ban parking or idling within twenty feet of any intersection and require the Department of Transportation to install barriers at one thousand intersections annually. Despite an internal council analysis finding no statistically significant effect on pedestrian injuries from universal daylighting, proponents argue it significantly enhances safety by clearing sightlines at crossings. The fight for safer streets will continue.
