Street safety and housing are connected. Building more homes increases density, and density requires better and more environmentally sound ways to move people. That is why pro-housing and safe streets coalitions usually align, and why a bus stop, a bike lane and a rezoning belong in the same conversation.

CB6 has a particular stake in this. Sammy's Law, which gave New York City the authority to lower speed limits below the state minimum, was named for a child killed by a speeding driver in this district. The Court Street protected bike lane, which CB6 voted unanimously to support, drew a lawsuit that a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge dismissed, holding that decisions about how city streets are used are policy questions for elected and accountable officials rather than the courts.

Every line and point here was clipped to Department of City Planning community district boundaries before it was counted, because agency boundary fields are frequently wrong. A segment counts in the district it actually sits in.
