      Council Member Brooks-Powers introduces legislation requiring the NYC Department of Transportation to develop guidelines for installing barriers in high pedestrian traffic areas during sidewalk repairs or construction.

      • The bill would mandate DOT to study the effectiveness of barriers in reducing traffic crashes and resulting injuries/fatalities
      • DOT would need to develop barrier installation guidelines within 6 months of the law's effective date
      • Using barriers is an effective strategy to improve safety by separating pedestrians from vehicles during construction
