      Council Member Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Chair of the Committee on Transportation Infrastructure, introduces two proposed introductions: 346-A regarding pedestrian crossing guidelines and right of way, and 746-A concerning the improvement of paid medians.

      She explains the contents and potential impacts of both bills, expressing support for 346-A due to its address of racial disparities in jaywalking enforcement and potential safety benefits.

      • Proposed Intro 346-A would legalize jaywalking and require DOT to conduct education on street safety.
      • Proposed Intro 746-A would require the modification of vacant paid medians with vegetation and stormwater management features.
      • Brooks-Powers emphasizes the potential benefits of both bills, including improved safety, climate change mitigation, and neighborhood beautification.
