Council Member Julie Won raises questions about various implementation challenges for BID containerization, including areas with bus or bike lanes, container approval backlogs, and situations where BIDs may struggle to comply. Deputy Commissioner Joshua Goodman addresses these concerns.

• DSNY will coordinate with DOT for container placement in areas with bus or bike lanes
• Grace period will be provided for BIDs waiting for container location approvals
• Public Design Commission approval not required for temporary wheeled containers
• DSNY open to discussions if a BID faces insurmountable compliance challenges
• Limited exemption processes available, but DSNY expects most situations to have viable solutions
