Mayor Adams pledged to upgrade 2,000 intersections annually for safety improvements, but data suggests the city is overstating progress and effectiveness of measures implemented.
Despite the promise to add daylighting at 1,000 intersections, misleading metrics indicated that many counted repeatedly were not distinct locations, undermining safety intentions.
The Department of Transportation's past claims of safety improvements at over 1,400 intersections were similarly inflated, mostly involving minor adjustments rather than substantial redesigns.
An agency spokesperson insisted that substantial progress is being made toward the mayor's goal, claiming that hundreds of intersections are complete, yet many remain largely unaddressed.
