Abreu promotes low-traffic neighborhood pilot and drag racing resolution
Abreu highlights his Intro 1070, a two-year low-traffic neighborhood pilot in five neighborhoods across at least three boroughs, with community input and evaluation of safety, noise, and surrounding streets. He also describes his resolution urging state passage of the Drag Racing and Speeding Enforcement Act.
I will let the other sponsors discuss their bills, but I am particularly excited about my bill related to low traffic neighborhoods.
Low-traffic neighborhoods use a range of traffic-calming measures to reduce through-traffic on residential streets.
Examples from the United Kingdom suggest that these approaches can reduce traffic volumes without significantly impacting surrounding roads or emergency response times.
Introduction number 1070 would establish a two-year pilot program in five neighborhoods across at least five boroughs.
Three boroughs, my apologies.
The program would incorporate community input and evaluate impacts on street safety, noise, and surrounding streets.
We want to better understand where these measures would be most effective and how they can help create safer, more livable neighborhoods.
In addition, my resolution that we'll be hearing will call on the state to pass S-1768 and A-2585.
which are known as the Drag and Speed Enforcement Act, which would work to combat illegal drag and speed racing.
