Sep 30 - Brewer dropped a daylighting bill after DOT's 'scare tactics'. She said the policy would 'gobble up' parking. The move preserves curb parking over visibility. Intersections stay blind. People walking and biking face higher crash risk.

"the policy will gobble up too many parking spots" -- Gale A. Brewer

Bill number: none provided. Status: abandoned on 2025-09-30. Committee: not listed. Key date: report published 2025-09-30. The matter titled "Gale’s A-Blowin’: Brewer Abandons Daylighting Bill After Push By Parking-First DOT" records Council Member Gale Brewer pulling her daylighting proposal after DOT's anti-daylighting 'scare tactics.' Brewer said, "the policy will gobble up too many parking spots." Streetsblog NYC flagged the retreat. Safety analysts note that dropping daylighting to preserve parking maintains poor intersection sightlines and turning conflicts, increasing crash risk for people walking and biking, and that prioritizing curb parking undermines system-wide safety gains and discourages mode shift.

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.
