Vision Zero has not worked at all.

Vision Zero

Bill de Blasio pledged to eliminate traffic deaths with his Vision Zero initiative. But a contrasting picture emerged in recent years. After falling during the first five years of the outgoing mayor’s administration, the number of fatalities in motor collisions has increased in the last two.

Bus Speeds

De Blasio launched the Better Buses initiative in 2019 to bring bus speeds up to 10 miles per hour. But the MTA data shows that buses are slower today than they were in 2015 when MTA started collecting these stats, even while fewer people are using public transit.

[Mr.Retired]

It is now faster to walk to work.

Take the bus off the street. Create reefs and protect our city from rising waters.

Level N.Y.C.H.A. and use the rubble to fill our subway system.

Build one family homes on the open space.

This will put an end to flooded neighborhoods, traffic deaths,subway crime,homelessness and create jobs.

As far as public transportation goes, I believe not moving forward with QBX was a grave mistake. It would have paved the way for a new light car rail system in NYC.
