Intro. 1138 is a Roadblock — Put the Brakes on This Parking Grab, Sign the Petition
Put the Brakes on This Parking Grab -- Sign the Petition
On Staten Island, cars aren't a luxury - they're a lifeline. As the most car-dependent borough, with limited transit options and families who rely on driving for work, school, and everyday life, Intro. 1138 would rip away thousands of parking spaces from our neighborhoods, punishing Staten Island drivers yet again.
This one-size-fits-all daylighting plan ignores the reality of Staten Island streets. At the same time, the goal of safer streets is one we all share - but this bill goes too far.
Taking away parking on nearly every corner won't suddenly make us safer - it will only make it harder for seniors, parents, and small business owners to live and work here. If you own a corner property, you will automatically lose two parking spots in front of your own home.
Staten Islanders deserve targeted safety fixes where they're truly needed, NOT a citywide mandate that sacrifices our quality of life. Frankly, we're tired of it.
Let the City Council know that we oppose the Universal Daylighting Bill by signing the petition.
