Dec 5 - Reinvent Albany urges Gov. Hochul to veto S7785/A8843. The bill carves out Co-op City from bus‑lane enforcement. It frees illegal parking, slows buses, and increases danger for pedestrians and cyclists.

Bill S7785/A8843 passed both houses in the 2025 legislative session and has not yet been delivered to the governor. No committee is listed. Key date: reported 2025-12-05. The matter drew sharp rebuke from Reinvent Albany, which said the proposal "arbitrarily exempts a group of motorists from a societally beneficial law solely because of where they live." It was sponsored by State Sen. Jamaal Bailey and Assembly Member Michael Benedetto. Reinvent Albany urged Gov. Hochul to veto the carve-out. Safety analysts note: "A carve-out for bus lane parking encourages illegal stopping in priority lanes, undermining transit reliability and forcing more dangerous merging and weaving around blocked lanes. This deters mode shift to buses and increases conflicts that endanger pedestrians and cyclists."

Dec 3 - Rep. Ritchie Torres and advocates demand more time to review a 6,000‑page Cross Bronx draft environmental assessment. A 53‑day, holiday‑filled window shrinks community input and risks car‑centric outcomes that harm pedestrians, cyclists, and equity communities.

""We need time, and we're not going to have it,"" -- Gustavo Rivera

This is not a council bill. It is a request to extend the public comment period on the Cross Bronx draft environmental assessment (no bill number). The draft EA was released after hours on Nov. 18; the public was given until Jan. 9 — a 53‑day window. "The public was given until just Jan. 9 to weigh in on the 6,000‑page document — a 53‑day period that includes multiple holidays." Rep. Ritchie Torres wrote to Gov. Hochul and NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez asking for more time. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera and local advocates pressed the same plea. A 53‑day, holiday‑laden comment window limits meaningful input from pedestrians, cyclists, and equity‑seeking communities and raises the risk that car‑centric, unsafe designs will advance.
