Mamdani pushes Vision Zero reboot: pedestrian-only districts and tougher penalties for reckless driving
TL;DR
Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a decade‑long Vision Zero plan to curb traffic deaths, proposing pedestrian‑only districts, lower speed limits (down to 15 mph on more streets under Sammy's Law), curb removals with physical obstructions to deter corner cutting, and new drugged‑driving rules plus license‑plate seizures and harsher penalties for repeat offenders; the plan hinges on Albany approval and builds on but diverges from earlier efforts.
