"This year alone, multiple children have been tragically killed by vehicles at intersections in my district. Daylighting saves lives," said Won in a statement.
"New Yorkers everywhere are asking for daylighting, but implementation is painfully slow; popularity is way outpacing DOT's action," said Jackson Chabot, director of Advocacy and Organizing at Open Plans.
The 1,000 intersections per year in the bill would still only amount to a fraction of the roughly 40,000 street crossings citywide.
DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez has said that daylighting 'must be implemented with physical infrastructure,' to prevent drivers from cutting the corner too quickly.
