Jumaane Williams

Specifically, I urge the council to consider and also pass a member, Councilmember Juan's bill, Intro 511, to implement universal daylighting and strengthen accountability on streets.

The daylighting...

Supported by over 200 civic streets, safety, and community organizations.

Additionally, 23 NYC community boards have passed resolutions endorsing intersection daylighting as a key measure to enhance street safety.

Jumaane Williams

Enacting this bill and others will ensure that compliance is legally required and formally codified, not standing or parking within 20 feet of an intersection.

Jumaane Williams

Any crosswalk while establishing mandatory and annual benchmarks for DOT, including the target numbers for hunting intersections.
