""We deserve to have universal daylighting, and furthermore, we deserve that the vast majority of that daylighting be hard daylighting," Mamdani said at a mayoral forum on street safety in February, referring to infrastructure such as bike racks or boulders that keep drivers out of "no parking" zones."
""I have stood there at a vigil for a child, Dolma ... who lost her life as she crossed the street and a driver blew through that crosswalk, and now there's daylighting there, but we've already lost her.""
"If elected, Mamdani said during an "Ask Me Anything" session on the influential subreddit MicromobilityNYC that he would lay out a schedule for universal daylighting with physical protection to keep out illegally parked cars "at every intersection in the city.""
Zohran Mamdani reiterated support for banning parking within 20 feet of intersections citywide, a practice known as daylighting. The Adams administration has opposed the Council bill Introduction 1138 and resisted enacting the policy despite growing grassroots support. State law bans such parking, but the city has long exempted itself, allowing free curbside car storage. The grassroots movement in Astoria grew after a driver killed 7-year-old Dolma Naadhun at an intersection without daylighting. Mamdani advocates universal daylighting with hard physical protections like bike racks or boulders and plans a citywide implementation schedule if elected.
