“The current state of the Conduit falls significantly short of meeting the needs of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians alike,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said, calling it confusing and dangerous for neighbors in Queens and Brooklyn Streetsblog.
Council Transportation Chair Selvena Brooks‑Powers has pressed DOT: “DOT gives us their word every hearing and we are not getting results” Streetsblog.
Albany’s camera program is in place. State lawmakers voted to extend school speed zones and automated enforcement; local representatives including Senator Leroy Comrie and Senator James Sanders voted yes, and Assembly Member Clyde Vanel voted yes as well legislative records. The city still must slow cars on the ground.
Stop the repeat harm
One lever sits in Albany: the speed‑limiter bill. Senator Leroy Comrie co‑sponsored S 4045 and voted yes in committee; the measure would require intelligent speed assistance for repeat offenders. In the Assembly, Clyde Vanel co‑sponsors the matching bill A 2299 bill files.
Local fixes are plain. Hardened lefts and daylighting at high‑injury spots like Belt Parkway access points and South Conduit. Leading pedestrian intervals and protected bike lanes across the board area. Focused night and early‑morning enforcement where deaths spike. The data supports them NYC Open Data.
Lower speeds save lives. Pass the speed‑limiter bill. Push the city to set safer speeds and build the protections that force drivers to slow. Act now: take action.

Stavisky votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.▸Jun 11 - Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.

Sanders votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.▸Jun 11 - Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live.

Stavisky votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.▸Jun 11 - Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.
