Won demands dollar amount for hardened daylighting in budget
Won asks for specific dollar amounts per fiscal year for hardened daylighting and how many intersections are budgeted. Flynn says they're confident they can exceed prior output but won't commit a specific line item.
So just to the point that Deputy Commissioner Beaton was making, there's no line item, and we're not looking at it as one piece.
Every time we do a project, we'll make sure if daylighting is an appropriate treatment.
So then help me understand, what civic street design elements are you looking at?
And can you help us understand what the criteria is exactly so that we can understand your criteria for your evaluations of which locations you will have hardened daylighting then?
Sure, and I just want to start by saying that we're very confident in our ability with the budget that we have now to exceed the prior administration's level of output of hardened daylighting.
As Deputy Commissioner Beaton said, the bike lanes, the bus lanes, all the other Vision Zero work we do, we're making hardened daylighting a standard part of our approach.
The nuance is just that there are cases, you know, we look at the crash data, and there's other treatments in addition to daylighting that are sometimes even more effective.
So we really value the flexibility to use daylighting and or other approaches based on the situation.
So we would like to understand how many dollars are going to be spent.
For each fiscal year since you gave us a calculation of how much it will cost.
In return, we would like to understand how many intersections are in your budget for this fiscal year.
I'll turn it over back to the chair, but I would like to come back for a second round of questions.
Thank you.
Okay, great.
