No New Yorker should lose their life just trying to get around our city. We refuse to accept preventable tragedy as an inevitable part of living in New York.
That's why we’ve announced more than 100 policies to make our streets safer over the next 10 years.
We’re:
— Redesigning our most dangerous streets.

— Lowering speed limits where children play.
— Upgrading 1,000 intersections every year.
— Cracking down on dangerous drivers and super speeders.
— Improving our street lights.
— Building safe, beautiful public spaces.
Together, we will build a city where every New Yorker gets where they're going safely.

This morning, more than 1,000 New Yorkers came together for the first City-sponsored Remembrance Ruck, walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan to honor our veterans.

Together, we must serve those who have served our country by delivering a life of dignity to veterans across the five boroughs.
