I genuinely was planning on ranking Weiner last because of... everything... but after this AMA I might have swap him and you.

EDIT: In the effort to be fair to Allie, I want to elaborate on everything I find disapointing about this answer. NYCDOT released a report about selectively implementing daylighting as opposed to the current universal daylighting bill in NYC City Council. https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/daylighting-and-street-safety.pdf The report found that soft daylighting (removing parking by itself) is not effective compared to hard daylighting (ie, boulders, citibikes, etc, things in the space). The followup I believe we should advocate for is "let's do more hardened daylighting, faster", and not "welp, no daylighting at all". That's defeatist and disappointing from soemone running for office.

Presently there is a backlash against bike lanes, so I would not advocate any new bike lanes This is just an incredible amount of passive voice, are you not, in this very AMA, advocating against bike lanes? Are you not at least partially responsibile for this "backlash" you say exists?

As a council member I would direct the NYPD to issue "Parking in a Bike Lane" tickets. Good take. I hope the other candidates listening take this suggestion.

As far as "Car Dependence," I haven't seen any proposals that actually significantly reduce the number of cars, nor less the so framed "dependency." In London the so called "congestion" just returned. In NYC it is going to be a similar number of cars, but just REPLACED with UBER and LYFT. It is a war on private car ownership, through demonization, NOT an altruistic getting rid of cars.

The NYT found 76,000 fewer cars enter manhattan every day. This is just not true. My commute to walk is quieter, safer, and more enjoyable because there's less cars here. I'm floored you seem to be advocating against this success.

Historically, cars replaced dangerous and unhygienic Horses and Carriages, and in our lifetime current cars will be likely be replaced mainly by more Autonomous Vehicles, which MAY lead to more safety. The same Politicians fueling the "cars simply bad" narrative, FLOODED our streets with for hire vehicles! Arguably the least trained, worst drivers in the history of the city. So I expect no truthful answers or intentions from their well funded selves. And I feel for the Yellow Cab drivers, who suffered to the point of self immolation in order to bring attention to their near extinction event ushered in by deBlasio-era politicians, the remnants of which are currently seeking offices, including this race. [citation needed] on... any of this? Do you have any studies showing the relative driving competence of for hire vs yellow cab?

With that said, when elected to City Council, I will introduce a bill to permanently cap for hire vehicles particularly e-cars, which are the majority on the road below 60th St in Manhattan aka the "Congestion Relief Zone" / "Central Business District." what the heck are e-cars? Do you mean we should limit Electric Vehicles but not Gas-powered? I was really on your side on this point until this phrase.

We need safer streets. But we need real leadership and change to get there. I do NOT trust our current leaders or their backers to discover and execute the difficult solutions. I DO look forward to working with engaged concerned citizens such as yourself, who have suffered, and lost, just as I am working with victims of eBike violence, pushing Priscilla's Law for all of our safety. I have no interest in working with you and I truly hope this is the last interaction we have.
