In-Road Warning Light Crosswalks
At a glance
- What: an order from Khrystian E. King and Tony Economou asking the City Manager to have the Commissioners of Public Works and of Transportation and Mobility research in-road warning-light crosswalk systems for areas with heavy pedestrian traffic.
- Where it stands: adopted 10-0 on 2026-09-08 (Bilotta absent).
- Next: a City Manager report on feasibility is pending.
The proposal
- Includes links to example videos; they would not play when King presented on 2026-09-08.
- King held it under privilege on August 18.
- He pointed to dark or multi-lane crossings on Shrewsbury St. and apparently inoperative lights at Union Station.
- He asked for locations, timelines and possible grant funding.
Discussion
- Eric D. Batista said the city installed in-road lights at Washington Square years ago and later replaced them with rapid flashing beacons. He promised to look at what happened and why, including power.
- Another councilor asked who maintains solar or electric versions.
