Chair Epstein asks about data sources and public release of corridors

And so, and just, so I'm just be clear, did you determine if there's a bus lane there, a bike lane there, to use 311 data on complaints to kind of assess these corridors?

The data, the data just, we just looked at collisions, injuries, and fatalities.

Those, those are the three main factors.

So if, if there's 500 complaints about First Avenue and 14th Street, just an example, by my district and

Board of Council, my Marlonis district, where we've seen a lot of injuries, but we haven't seen, you know, we did have a fatality a week ago, but like, how would that measure up if there's like hundreds of

Is that a factor that you're looking at?

So I would say that DOT takes in 311 complaints, anything that comes to our correspondence unit or our arts program, which is sort of our in-house 311 for tracking communication from the public.

We also work closely with all of your offices, with our sister agencies, with the mayor's office, and external stakeholders and institutions.

That also includes our New York City public school system.

So we are taking in inputs as it relates to what's on the ground from a street design perspective and reviewing those as well.

So that would be housed within DOT.

And then that information is that shared out to the public so they know these are the 15 intersections that have high crash data?

I'm not sure if there's been a public release of this, but it's something where we've been out visibly.

The High Visibility Corridors collaboration between NYPD and DOT has gone back several years, and it accounts for both an education and an enforcement component.

So we are both DOT staff and NYPD officers are out there together on the corridor in sequence to ensure that folks are aware of what their responsibilities are as drivers on the road to be safe and to drive the speed limit

and to make sure that we are coupling that with enforcement after the education.

Yeah, I mean, it'd be great for us to have it too because obviously collaborations across the board.

You know, are there bike lanes at those intersections?

Are there bus lanes on those intersections?

What is the location that kind of why is that intersection you determined to be a higher?

I think there's a fuller information data set that might be helpful for all of us to be helping you ensure that people, you know, these locations are identified and we can help identify those locations to reduce incidents and reduce fatalities.

We're happy to take any information from yourself or your colleagues and absolutely include it in our work.

I would love to see this data be made public because I do think it's important for us to know and the public to know that these are high crash areas.

And if something's not listed on that report, people could be like, hey, you know, this is a tough intersection.

We could look for some redesigns.

Maybe there's a way to, if there's a bike lane or not a bike lane, a bus lane or not a bus lane, what could you do to have a calming measures to help that intersection?
