Two hundred local groups backed banning parking at corners to improve safety and visibility and to advance Intro 1138, which would prohibit car storage within 20 feet of crosswalks citywide. Supporters include Transportation Alternatives, the Trucking Association of New York, the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, and the Staten Island Conservative Party.
