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."

Jul 30 - Seventeen years. Two deaths. Hundreds hurt. The city finally moves to rebuild a Bronx intersection where danger stalks every crossing. Concrete, signals, and sidewalks will change the ground, not the memory.

Patch reported on July 30, 2025, that New York City approved $45 million to reconstruct the hazardous intersection at East 177th Street, Devoe Avenue, and East Tremont Avenue. The area saw at least 246 crashes, 358 injuries, and two deaths since 2011. The plan, stalled for 17 years, will shorten crossings, add sidewalks, and upgrade signals. The corridor serves schools, bus stops, and parks. DDC spokesperson Ian Michaels called it an 'incredibly complex project.' Delays left vulnerable road users exposed. The redesign aims to reduce conflict and injury at a site long marked by systemic danger.
