Commissioner Rodriguez discusses the recent daylighting study conducted by DOT and its implications for street safety improvements.

• The study was conducted pursuant to Local Law 66 of 2023, sponsored by Chair Brooks-Powers.
• Findings show that daylighting is useful in certain locations but is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
• Hardening daylighting with infrastructure to prevent vehicles from occupying the space enhances safety.
• The budget includes increased funding for additional hardened daylighting installations, focusing on treatments with real safety benefits for New Yorkers.
