The letter to Council Speaker Adrienne Adams highlights a robust coalition of 45 groups advocating for the City of Yes initiative to eliminate parking requirements and build 100,000 housing units.
Advocates stress that lifting parking mandates will promote neighborhood evolution and alleviate car dependency, allowing a critical shift towards improved public transportation and infrastructure.
The initiative aims to distribute new housing equitably across the city, thereby mitigating the impact on individual neighborhoods and preparing for increased infrastructure needs.
Concerns about the zoning initiative being modest were addressed, emphasizing gradual development and long-term planning for the necessary public services and resources.
