Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie says two issues prevented the passage of a long-sought bill to let New York City set its own speed limits: e-bikes and speed bumps.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.– by street safety advocates during this month’s legislative session. It is named after 12–year-old Sammy Cohen Eckstein, who was killed by a speeding driver in Brooklyn in 2013.
“They'd like to see more enforcement, not only of reckless drivers, but also of the e-bikes. That got raised in the conference,” Heastie said. “Some members are saying they'd like more coordination when they make requests for speed bumps and other traffic mitigation. They just would like to be more involved and included in discussions that is doing in their districts.”
The bill had 60 co-sponsors in the Assembly, including 36 from New York City. But Heastie said not enough members from the five boroughs were willing to back the bill. He estimated that about a dozen members didn’t support it and wanted to have a broader conversation about street safety — namely e-bikes and speed bumps — before voting on Sammy’s Law.
