New York City Council · Jun 25, 2026 · starts 0:23:40 · 52 sec

Thomas-Henry asks what interagency coordination would be needed to implement the bill. Dean explains DOT may need to coordinate with Con Edison for power, manage trenching and construction, and work with the MTA when work is near transit infrastructure columns.

Next question as it pertains to 845.

Shanel Thomas-Henry

What interagency coordination would be required to implement this bill?

Monty Dean

We, again, it depends in each location what we find.

Monty Dean

If we find there's a need for additional lighting,

Monty Dean

If we can't, for instance, add to existing onto existing poles, we might need to work with Con Ed if there needs to be more power provided.

Monty Dean

And then we would have to coordinate on construction if there's additional trenching required.

Monty Dean

We'd have to go through the normal process to make sure we know what else is under under the street there.

Monty Dean

And also we would have to.

Monty Dean

If any of the trenching or other work was near any of the transit infrastructure, the columns for the overhead infrastructure, we would have to coordinate closely with them.

Monty Dean

MTA on that as well.

Shanel Thomas-Henry

Okay.
