The city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) penned a letter to the comptroller’s office expressing frustration over what the agency called a “lack of knowledge” about the City Council’s law on NYC outdoor dining permits.
DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez sent the letter on Monday in response to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander’s “misleading” Feb. 13 press release that said the DOT is lagging behind on permitting nearly 4,000 outdoor dining applications in time for the Dining Out NYC season on April 1.
