""It should not be this hard - we should not have had to take any amendments - to pass universal daylighting,""
""But we are now being forced to focus on school zones. The Department of Transportation should be ashamed of themselves.""
""continue to fight""
City Council members narrowed a proposed citywide requirement to ban parking within 20 feet of intersections, limiting it to streets near schools after opposition from the Adams administration. Council Member Julie Won criticized the Department of Transportation for resisting universal daylighting and said the measure will now focus on school zones while she continues to push for hard protections like granite blocks or bike racks to keep drivers from parking at roughly 1,000 corners annually. Intro 1138 originally would prohibit private car storage within 20 feet of all intersections; the bill has 26 sponsors but needs a two-thirds majority to override a likely mayoral veto. Persuading holdouts remains difficult in car-dependent districts.
