Laid Over by Committee   Action details Not available Int 0679-2022 * Rita C. Joseph     Requiring the installation of traffic calming devices adjacent to senior centers and naturally occurring retirement communities. Introduction This bill would require the Department of Transportation to annually install at least one traffic-calming device on no less than fifty blocks that are adjacent to senior centers or naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs). The Commissioner, after evaluating all of these locations, may determine to stop further installation (consistent with the Commissioner’s right to decline to install a device if they determine that doing so would endanger the safety of motorists or pedestrians, or would be noncompliant with the Department’s traffic control device guidelines), but only upon informing the Speaker of the City Council of the reasons for their determination. Any senior center or NORC created after such a determination must be evaluated for placement of a traffic calming device. The Department is further required to report to the Council by August 1, 2023 and annually thereafter on the locations where traffic calming devices have been installed.

Laid Over by Committee   Action details Not available Int 0854-2022 * Selvena N. Brooks-Powers     Requiring the department of transportation to annually implement new daylighting measures. Introduction The proposed bill would require that the DOT implement daylighting or install daylighting features at a minimum of 100 intersections a year, and must implement daylighting at high priority intersections, those with a significantly larger number of serious vehicular crashes, whenever feasible. The proposed bill also tasks the DOT with publishing information on high priority intersections including their location, whether the department intends to implement daylighting at the intersection, and if not, what if any steps the department intends to take to reduce the incidence of serious vehicular crashes at the intersection.
