Intro 1138 faces a last-minute gutting as Speaker Adams and DOT push a narrower counter-proposal on Nov 21, 2025. DOT would daylight 100 spots a year with no hardening; safety effects remain unclear.

DOT leans on a costly report and pro-car politicians to stall universal daylighting. Corners stay parked. Visibility stays poor. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a proven, system‑wide safety measure while parking is put first.
