A coalition of safe streets advocates released a new analysis of Department of Transportation (DOT) data on Tuesday, highlighting the city’s most dangerous intersections. The group is pushing the City Council to vote on a bill that would eliminate parking near intersections across the five boroughs, with the goal of making them safer.
The collective — comprised of advocates with Transportation Alternatives, Families for Safe Streets, and Open Plans — found that 12,261 New Yorkers have been killed or seriously injured since City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams was elevated to her post in early 2022.
