BILL NUMBER:S7892 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to speed limits PURPOSE: This legislation would allow a city with over one million residents to establish speed limits of 25 MPH after a period of public comment,.

The city must provide local community boards with the opportunity to comment. Section 2 amends section 1642 of the vehicle and traffic law to estab- lish that starting in 2015 and then biannually thereafter the City must produce a public report to the Governor, the leaders of the Legislature which it would post online reporting on what street calming measures and lower speed limits were implemented and the effects these measures have had on the number and severity of accidents on those streets. Section 3 establishes an effective date of 90 days. JUSTIFICATION: Mayor de Blasio recently released a detailed report
