Council Member Joann Ariola expressed enthusiasm about the recent approval of two bills aimed at improving community awareness around roadway and parking changes, stating, "This is a significant step in ensuring that our communities are informed and their concerns are considered when it comes to roadway and parking changes." The legislation aims to enhance transparency and communication regarding major transportation projects and street parking removals.
The first measure, Intro 104, mandates the DOT consult with the FDNY before approving Open Streets applications or major projects, ensuring that feedback from affected firehouses is gathered and included in community notifications.
Similarly, the second bill, Intro 103, requires the DOT to notify City Council members at least 10 days prior to any removal of street parking spaces in their districts, thus enhancing the flow of information to elected officials and their constituents.
