Recent win: A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the New York city police department to provide the civilian complaint review board with direct access to officer body-warn camera footage and to establish related procedures

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the New York city police department to provide the civilian complaint review board with direct access to officer body-warn camera footage and to establish related procedures
👍 Positive

Greater CCRB access to body‑camera footage can improve accountability and reduce biased or harmful traffic enforcement against pedestrians and cyclists, supporting equity and willingness to walk/bike. Effects on crash prevention and driver behavior are indirect and likely modest.

Int 1421-2025 would let restaurants and grocery stores run sidewalk and roadway cafes in curb or parking lanes year‑round. It speeds reviews, sets $1,050 fees and four‑year terms, and pushes dining closer to moving traffic — raising risks for pedestrians and cyclists.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding access to roadway and sidewalk cafes
• Neutral
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar
Year‑round expansion of roadway/sidewalk cafes can calm traffic and create buffers that benefit pedestrians, but also risks obstructing sidewalks, complicating winter operations, and creating conflicts near bike lanes. Net safety effects for vulnerable users hinge on strict clear-path, loading, and bike-lane protection rules and enforcement.
