Take Action
Summary
This bill would require the Commissioner of Transportation to install, each year, enough pedestrian lighting on at least 25 step streets to ensure that they are sufficiently lit for pedestrians.

Step streets are public, open-air staircases for pedestrians that connect two streets at different elevations.
