A group of people gathered on the sidewalk in front Council Member Gale Brewer’s district office.

A sign held up in front of Gale Brewer’s office that reads “You supported safety, Gale. Don’t turn your back now.”

“You can’t tell me a parking space at the corner of a street is worth a life.”

Advocates are in front of the district office of @galeabrewer.bsky.social this morning to ask her why she changed her mind and no longer supports universal daylighting in NYC.

@nyc-dot.bsky.social is making up math here. There are roughly 300 intersections on the UWS or ~2,400 potential daylighting spots, many of which are already bus stops or fire hydrants.

@galeabrewer.bsky.social got some bad information.

Why are we bean counting street safety in the first place?

Hear me out here - by killing the open street on Vanderbilt, it became less of a destination and the neighborhood can't support restaurants like that if it's not a destination

"This is a great first step, or option for some areas. But we’d love to see some simpler hardening at a quicker pace." - @chabotjackson.bsky.social

Passing Intro 1138 will get us there by mandating universal daylighting citywide & that 1,000 intersections are hardened each year!

Added some cosmo to it recently, too.

It's me!

In 2024, traffic violence killed a New Yorker every 35 hours. Lives are on the line, which is why today, we're proud to announce the Progressive Caucus's endorsement of our member @cmjuliewon.bsky.social's lifesaving legislation - Intro 1138 - that calls for universal daylighting in New York City.

We are co-hosting two social hours Tomorrow Feb 5 with @transalt.org (Queens) & on Thursday Feb 6 with El Puente (Brooklyn). Join us to learn more about community boards, the application process and mingle with prospective applicants!
