Chair Epstein asks about time of day and lighting improvements

All of that is gathered by our CIS data team.

And you determined that in these areas, the time of day or time of evening,

where these incidents are occurring, have you determined that it's happening more like we've seen, you know, the data we've collected is in the evening, is that something you've

kind of made the determination, if you have, what improvements on lighting and support have you put into place in those intersections?

So I can speak to just one example, again, going back to Ocean Parkway, because we did a lot of work with the DOT.

That collision was driven by speed.

So naturally, we reached out to our partners in the DOT, and I don't know if they could speak to automated speed enforcement along that corridor.

So that was one thing that...

I don't know if we could speak to that, but this is going back to March of 25.

Yeah, absolutely.

Just a recommendation as to what we...

Thank you, Chief.

Right, so I guess a couple things there.

You asked about the infrastructure, Chair.

So absolutely at DOT, that's something we look at both in the immediate aftermath of a serious crash, but also obviously as part of our more systemic work across the whole city and prioritizing different corridors and areas.

So yes, and then you mentioned time of day.

Absolutely, we're always looking at trends in the data.

One thing we've discovered is that with the, as we get to the fall and it gets darker earlier in the day, we do see an uptick.

Or, you know, we know, for example, that Halloween is actually one of the most challenging.

So we're always looking at different kinds of trends and then tailoring our approach and response.
