      Council Member Julie Won responds to DOT's claim of no studies on daylighting effectiveness by presenting evidence from other cities and organizations. She cites reports from the Federal Highway Administration, Hoboken, and San Francisco that demonstrate the positive impact of daylighting on pedestrian safety and collision reduction.

      • Federal Highway Administration report shows 30% reduction in pedestrian crashes
      • Hoboken has had no traffic deaths in seven years after implementing daylighting
      • San Francisco's SFMTA report shows 14% fewer collision reports at intersections with daylighting
