Council Member Nantasha Williams presents Introduction 468-A, a bill aimed at increasing transparency in the process of requesting and installing traffic control devices in New York City. She explains how the bill will require the Department of Transportation to publish detailed information about traffic control device requests on their website, making the process more accessible and accountable to New Yorkers.
- The bill requires publishing case numbers, request subjects, current status, resolutions, and reasons for denial if applicable.
- For approved requests, installation timelines will be made available.
- Williams argues that this increased transparency will build trust between the community and government while ensuring timely implementation of safety measures.
