Requiring curb extensions at certain dangerous intersections.
Status: Filed (End of Session) Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
Sponsored by Julie Menin
Introduced: April 28, 2022

Curb extensions prohibit parking near crosswalks at an intersection, increasing pedestrian visibility. Under the bill, the City would be required to identify intersections that pose the greatest danger to pedestrians, based upon incidence of traffic crashes involving pedestrians, and implement curb extensions prohibiting parking within 15 feet of a crosswalk in at least five such intersections in each borough per year.
