New daylighting measures.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to new daylighting measures

This bill requires that the Department of Transportation (DOT) study safety benefits of daylighting and daylighting barriers, and implement daylighting at a minimum of 100 intersections a year beginning on January 1, 2025. DOT would also be required to install daylighting barriers in intersections where daylighting has been implemented, subject to the Commissioner’s determination. The Commissioner may determine to cease implementation of daylighting at 100 intersections a year on or after January 1, 2030 if additional daylighting would not meaningfully contribute to the safety of motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists and the Commissioner notifies the Speaker of such determination. DOT must annually report on the locations at which daylighting has been implemented and discontinued.
