DSNY opposes Intro 911A on Staten Island CWZ expansion and delay
Anderson opposes Intro 911A, saying it would undermine the CWZ program's core benefits of decreased truck traffic, improved safety, and consumer protections. He notes the Staten Island zone implementation started that morning and opposes disrupting the system mid-implementation.
And lastly, Intro 911A, sponsored by Councilmember Carr, would increase the number of carters in the Staten Island commercial waste zone from no more than three to a total of six and delay the implementation of such zone.
Sanitation opposes this bill as it would undermine the commercial waste zone program.
Its core benefits of decreased truck traffic, improved safety, and strengthened consumer protections.
And we cannot support the disruption to this system in the midst of implementation, particularly, as I mentioned previously, with the Staten Island Zone implementation starting this morning.
Nor do we support depriving Staten Island residences and businesses from the clear benefits this program provides, which we've seen in the six zones that are already implemented.
So thank you for the opportunity to testify today, and I am now happy to answer your questions.
I will turn it over first to...
Minority leader Carr to ask about intro 911.
