Sep 10 - Int. 1375 orders DOT to install 5,000 bike parking stations over five years. 1,000 a year. 400 on commercial blocks. It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.

Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years. Tiffany Cabán is the primary sponsor; Lincoln Restler and Gale A. Brewer are co-sponsors. Safety analysts note that expanding secure, well-sited bike parking—especially on commercial blocks and in underserved areas—supports mode shift, reduces sidewalk clutter from ad hoc parking, and improves end-of-trip safety; impact will be strongest if DOT prioritizes curb/roadway placement over sidewalks to protect pedestrian space.

Aug 14 - Res 1024 urges Albany to pass A.5440. Cameras would ticket vehicle owners for illegal parking. Enforcement clears bike lanes, crosswalks and corners. It restores space and visibility for people walking and biking.

"calls upon the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." -- Lincoln Restler

Res 1024-2025 (file: Res 1024-2025) is a Council sponsorship resolution referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and entered August 14, 2025. It "calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the New York State Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York." Council Member Lincoln Restler sponsored the resolution. A.5440, sponsored in the State Assembly by Steven Raga, would authorize a six-year DOT camera pilot and shift fines to vehicle owners. City analysts say automated owner-liability enforcement will discourage illegal parking that blocks bike lanes, crosswalks, and corners, improving visibility and space for people walking and biking and aiding transit reliability.
