Mayor Eric Adams announced a commitment from the city to invest nearly $1 billion into safety measures designed to curb traffic deaths and enhance protections on New York City streets.
Adams' pledge Saturday comes on the heels of a deadly three months on city streets: at least 59 people were killed between January and March, a 44 percent increase over the same time last year.
“Too many New Yorkers have lost their lives to the traffic violence crisis, and we are seeing cities across the country struggle just like us, but this historic investment will allow New Yorkers to walk and cycle around our city without fear," his statement read.
