Chair Riley criticizes lack of updates on Block-by-Block proposals

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 0:12:06 · 50 sec

He says there have been no updates since May, DCP has not been forthcoming with micro plans, HPD has not explained financial tools, and details matter.

Kevin C. Riley

Beyond these larger questions, I have specific questions about the initiatives in the mayor's plan, and I hope we can start to fill some of those information gaps today.

Kevin C. Riley

There have been no updates on many of the block-by-block proposals since the plan released in May.

Kevin C. Riley

DCP has not been forthcoming with the micro plans, and HPD...

Kevin C. Riley

Has not told us how they plan to expand their financial tools.

Kevin C. Riley

The details matter, and we are here to tease them out.

Kevin C. Riley

And I want to be sure that the recently adopted procedural tools don't paper over the needed for planning and community engagement.

Kevin C. Riley

To ensure local needs are met, and that all agencies that contribute to the development of our city can be held accountable by future generations for the way in which we set our transformed New York City.
