Recent win: Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program
  • 2025-06-23 · Leadership · Streetsblog NYC · ↓ hurts grade
    Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
  • 2025-06-17 · Vote · Open States · ↓ hurts grade
    Senate passes S 8344. School speed zone rules in New York City get extended. Lawmakers make technical fixes. The bill keeps pressure on drivers near schools. Streets stay a little safer for kids.
  • 2025-06-16 · Vote · Open States · ↓ hurts grade
    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.
  • 2025-06-16 · Vote · Open States · ↓ hurts grade
    White Plains gets speed cameras near schools. Lawmakers move fast. Most vote yes. Cameras catch drivers who endanger kids. Program ends 2030. Streets may slow. Danger faces children every day.
