The council member asks about the $50 million allocated to the DOT in 2018 for installing 1,500 bollards, and whether that target was met. The DOT director states that the funding has been spent or programmed, but only around 800 bollards have been installed so far, with potentially more in the pipeline.
- Around 300 bollards were installed in fiscal year 2019.
- Around 300 more were installed in fiscal year 2020.
- No additional bollards have been installed since then.
- High-profile locations like the Empire State Building and St. Patrick's Cathedral had bollards installed during those years.

In 2018, $50, 000, 000 was dedicated to DOT for the installation of 1500 borrowers.

Was that threshold met?

The dollar amount is all either spent or programmed, yes.

And the total number of dollars we have in so far from that is about 800, and we'll have to double check if there's still more that are in the pipeline.

That'd be good to know because our understanding is that a approximately $300 were installed in fiscal year 2019.
0:57:27
In fiscal year 2020, and then nothing since then.

That sounds correct.
0:57:35
We'll double check the dates.

But, yes, there were many of the high profile locations that we did, for instance, Empire State Building, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, as was mentioned in the testimony, were done during those years.

Next, I'm going to move on to a couple of questions on Jay walk in, and I'm gonna probably come back to some of the questions for council member, nurses, as she sends them to me.
