From New York City Councilmember Shahana Hanif:
Daylighting District 39 IntersectionsPreventing senseless deaths from traffic violence is an utmost priority for my Office. One proven strategy that makes our streets safer is daylighting—the practice of removing the parking spots closest to an intersection to improve sightlines for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
If there is an intersection District 39 that you think could benefit from daylighting, please let us know fill out the form below. We will share your recommendations with the NYC Department of Transportation.
Car crashes at intersections are responsible for 51% of all fatal collisions and 68% of all injuries as well as 59% of pedestrian fatalities and 77% of pedestrian injuries.
