Upper West Side Council Member Gale Brewer withdrew support for a bill to ban parking within 20 feet of street corners (daylighting) after Department of Transportation officials lobbied against the measure and presented a new parking-loss estimate.

StreetsPAC criticized the reversal and urged Brewer to reconsider.
