"State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez wants Manhattan to be safer. To get there, the city and state governments must understand traffic violence as a fundamental threat to public safety, she argues in a 14-page plan published today. The document, called the "Manhattan Community Safety Plan," focuses on the overall safety of the borough, with sections devoted to behavioral health, housing access, and firearm policy. The first section zeroes in on street safety, and calls for the passage of several relevant bills pending in Albany and City Hall:"
"S4045A, also known as the "Stop Super Speeder" bill, would require the installation of speed-limiting devices in the cars of drivers who receive 16 or more speed camera tickets in a 12-month period. S5008A would create a bicycle lane safety program that uses cameras to ticket car drivers who park in bike lanes. S445 would eliminate New York City's exemption from the state law mandating daylighting at intersections."
State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez proposes the Manhattan Community Safety Plan, framing traffic violence as a fundamental public-safety threat. The plan targets boroughwide safety with sections on street safety, behavioral health, housing access, and firearm policy. Street-safety proposals include S4045A to require speed-limiting devices for repeat speed-camera violators, S5008A to ticket drivers who park in bike lanes using cameras, and S445 to eliminate New York City's exemption from daylighting requirements at intersections. The plan notes City Council Intro 1138 faces opposition and likely will not pass this year. Intro 1431 would limit high-speed police chases for nonviolent offenses. The measures aim to foster a more livable, walkable, and equitable Manhattan.
