Section 1.  Subchapter 1 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 19-148.1 to read as follows:

§ 19-148.1 Reflective material on bollards, curbs, posts, and roundabouts.

a. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:

Bollard. The term “bollard” has the same meaning as is ascribed to such term in section 18-155 of the administrative code of the city of New York.

Curb. The term “curb” has the same meaning as is ascribed to such term in section 111 of the vehicle and traffic law.

Post. The term “post” means a piece of wood, metal or other material set upright in the ground and used as a marker or to support a sign.

Reflective Material. The term “reflective material” means material that is capable of reflecting light and that is in compliance with the manual on uniform traffic control devices and the New York supplement to the manual on uniform traffic control devices.

b. The department shall install reflective material on bollards, curbs, posts, and roundabouts situated in streets in the city. The department shall complete such installation at a rate of no fewer than 250 new installations per year in each borough of the city until all such bollards, curbs, posts, and roundabouts bear such reflective material. Such reflective material shall be installed and maintained to the satisfaction of the department.
