Canal Street redesign: board preparing an eight‑page resolution on accessibility and missed opportunities
Summary
Traffic & Transportation committee reported an eight-page resolution on Canal Street redesign that raises concerns about accessibility, micromobility and delivery access; DOT will return with revisions and the committee will meet again after that follow-up.
The Traffic & Transportation committee told the executive committee it has prepared an eight-page resolution on the Canal Street redesign after joint meetings with neighboring community boards and Department of Transportation staff.
Committee members said the resolution organizes comments around five DOT goals but also flags missed opportunities: it requests clearer accommodations for micromobility and delivery access and raises greening and accessibility concerns tied to the proposed removal of parking and drop-off spaces. The committee described an outreach meeting that drew roughly 170 attendees and noted DOT will return with revisions; the committee expects to meet again after DOT’s next submission.
The executive committee did not vote on the Canal Street resolution at this meeting; the traffic committee lead said they will confirm scheduling so the DOT presentation can occur after the board meeting in January.
The committee’s draft resolution and follow-up schedule will be circulated to members; no formal timeline for adoption beyond the January follow-up was recorded in the executive committee meeting.
