For too long, politics have gotten in the way of safety.
New Yorkers cannot afford watered-down, canceled, or delayed street safety projects.
Together we say: Mayor Adams, Not one more death on your streets.
ALT Together, we call on you to treat this public health emergency with the immediate response that it deserves, specifically by fast-tracking the legally mandated NYC Streets Plan, which you funded with $904 million. This plan provides a blueprint of how to move closer to Vision Zero while providing all New Yorkers more affordable, equitable, and sustainable ways to get around our city.
While this plan outlines a hopeful and safe path forward for New York City, we are also gravely concerned that the City continues to miss its goals, and appalled that the administration is actively rolling back essential street improvement projects that have already been approved.
ALT Reversing, diminishing, or even just delaying these projects will only cause more death and injuries to families across the five boroughs. Specifically, we call attention to safety projects that have been halted by your office, including McGuinness Boulevard, Bedford Avenue, Ashland and Navy Street, the Underhill Avenue Bike Boulevard, and the Fordham Road busway.
Politics have gotten in the way of safety for far too long. Together we say: Mayor Adams, not one more death on your streets.
