STATEMENT FROM MAYOR DE BLASIO ON COUNCIL PASSAGE OF SAFE STREETS MASTER PLAN LEGISLATION


 “Congratulations to the Council on passage of this legislation, which will continue the City’s progress on Vision Zero, helping to make New York City’s streets even safer in the years and decades to come. Since the start of my administration, the City has built four times as many miles of on-street protected bike lanes as under every other mayor combined, and together with the Council we will continue to build infrastructure that will carry on the work that has brought down fatalities for the last five years.

“That work has recently continued under the ambitious commitments made this year in our Better Buses and Green Wave cycling plans, and we look forward to continuing work with elected officials and communities on creating new bus lanes and protected bike lanes in their districts even before this new Master Plan takes effect. I’m confident the City will continue to lay the critical groundwork that will firmly cement New York City’s reputation as the nation’s leader on street safety.”
