The Adams administration said Sunday that it has met a goal to make safety improvements at 1,000 dangerous intersections across the Five Boroughs this year (and then some).
Mayor Eric Adams said in January, just weeks into his tenure, that the city would seek to make 1,000 intersections safer in the five boroughs within a year after 272 people died in traffic crashes in 2021, a record in the Vision Zero era. The mayor said intersections warranted the most attention as they are the site of the most incidents, with 50% of fatalities and 70% of injuries recorded in one.
