Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
Brook-Krasny votes no, opposing safer school speed zones for children.

Senate passes S 8344. School speed zone rules in New York City get extended. Lawmakers make technical fixes. The bill keeps pressure on drivers near schools. Streets stay a little safer for kids.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requirements for police department high-speed vehicle pursuits
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
