Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday unveiled “Vision Zero Reimagined,” a wide-ranging plan to eliminate traffic deaths within 10 years — including by boosting “pedestrian-only” zones across the city.
The 105-page blueprint, however, offers few concrete details on the no-car zones, such as where they would be located or how much of the city would be turned into “pedestrian-priority districts.”
“Vision Zero Reimagined puts forward the bold measures and practical fixes we need to make preventable tragedy no longer a part of everyday life in New York City,” Mamdani said.
The plan also vaguely vows to institute 20 mph speed limits across “entire neighborhoods” and to look into instituting higher tolls for oversized passenger cars.
The city will be “providing disincentives to private automobile trips, ownership and on-street storage,” the report states.
Some of the few tangible actions — among dozens of initiatives outlined in the plan...

You idiots voted for this!
America needs its city back. Time for Mandani to go.
“If we can save JUST ONE LIFE...”
Hang the costs.
“America needs its city back. Time for Mandani to go.”
The “Mussolini Solution” would be ideal.
Video it so we can see it again, and again, and again.
S**t should always be flushed. And this turd is pure s**t.
He’s just plain nuts.
On-street parking?
I’ve been to NYC. You can’t find an empty parking space.
We had to park in an expensive parking garage.
Mamdamn Mamdani is a clown
Cause tons of confusion and get more people killed
Eternal Gridlock.
Snake Plissken has entered the chat.
Aka - no cars in NYC.
That would certainly make things more convenient. Convenient for street takeovers at prayer time. for
“pedestrian-only” zones?
Ya mean “sidewalks”?
Leftist urban planners tried this in the early 70s and killed those downtowns that spent money doing it. They then had to spend more money undoing it a de adde later.
That's so last millennium.
The thoroughly modern goal is all one way streets and only left hand turns to change direction...
Every single time I see Mamdani do something bad to NYC, I smile. The people in NYC love him because he’s well spoken, has a nice smile and is a muslim communist.
I hate NYC and enjoy schadenfreude as I watch them destroy themselves. Just don’t move to Ohio, we have enough liberal idiots here.
“Leftist urban planners tried this in the early 70s and killed those downtowns that spent money doing it. They then had to spend more money undoing it a de adde later.”
One of the most notable was Nicolette Mall in Minneapolis, MN. My hometown thought that looked great, and did something similar to our downtown. Absolutely killed downtown. The city finally undid the conversion of a main street into a mall, and the area is showing signs of life.

Do you want to see "Zero Vision Reimagined" in action? Go to North Korea. North Korean city streets are empty of traffic and reportedly have zero traffic deaths too.
“S**t should always be flushed”
Not in my company’s restrooms. In the stalls there’s the sign “Flush only toilet paper”.
It used to be that one could drive down the avenue at 25mph and hit all green lights. Now in some sections, one has to drive 15 mph to hit all green lights.
Another thing I noticed, most of the cars are TC. Eliminate those and there would be no congestion in NYC. People do not use public transportation anymore.
Massive growth of pedestrian zones is a sacrament to modern urban planners.
How that is supposed to support hi-rise buildings is another matter.
