The Adams administration said Sunday that it has met a goal to make safety improvements at 1,000 dangerous intersections across the Five Boroughs this year (and then some).
, just weeks into his tenure, that the city would seek to make 1,000 intersections safer in the five boroughs within a year after 272 people died in traffic crashes in 2021, a record in the Vision Zero era. The mayor said intersections warranted the most attention as they are the site of the most incidents, with 50% of fatalities and 70% of injuries recorded in one.
The administration also established a new goal of improving 1,400 total intersections by the end of 2022. Mayor Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez pledged to redesign 1,000 intersections this year on Jan. 19, 2022.The announcement was made at one of the administration’s crown jewels from this year: a redesign of Eighth Avenue in Midtown. Between 43rd and 51st streets, Eighth Avenue now has one fewer travel lane for motor vehicles, replaced by a painted curb extension, while the bike lane has been moved further into the street and protected by bollards.
