Espaillat Introduces Legislation To Revitalize New York City Infrastructure Projects

Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat announced the introduction of his Pedestrian Safety and Transit Preservation Act.
A bill that would guarantee infrastructure grants set to lapse in New York City will continue to remain available for the completion of transportation and infrastructure projects.

“COVID-19 hit New York City especially hard, and our communities need our support more now than ever before – and that support starts with funding our city’s infrastructure that countless of my constituents rely on each and every day,” said Rep. Espaillat. “In light of the pandemic, countless infrastructure projects were put on hold, despite being so close to the finish line. That’s why I introduced the Pedestrian Safety and Transit Preservation Act, to ensure these projects are reinvigorated, and our communities can begin to build back better, and stronger, than ever before.”
