Gov. Hochul's proposed parking ban at city elementary schools aims to enhance pedestrian and driver visibility, although critics argue it falls short of state safety laws.
Jackson Chabot emphasized the need for broader measures, stating, 'Schools are a fantastic place to start... but it's a bit of a backpedal when it's already state law to daylight every intersection.'
The state’s exemption allows cars to obstruct visibility at numerous intersections, particularly dangerous surrounding schools, as noted by a Streetsblog investigation.
Hochul's proposal lacks full school daylighting, focusing only on elementary schools, missing safety enhancements for older students and not addressing the needs of vulnerable pedestrians.
