The City Council voted on Intro 93A, a transportation measure that directs the Department of Transportation to install at least 5,000 bicycle‑parking stations over five years, with a required online map of installed stations and a final report due to the mayor and council by Jan. 1, 2032.
Council Member Amanda Faras spoke in support of the bill, saying the city has seen large increases in bike trips and delivery workers and needs practical parking to keep sidewalks safe and accessible. "We have in the city of New York right now, bike trips increasing ... and somewhere between 65 and 85,000 delivery workers every single day. So we need safe practical parking," Faras said.
The clerk recorded the item as part of the general orders calendar and later announced that Intro 93A was adopted by a roll‑call vote of 36 in the affirmative, 11 in the negative, and 3 abstentions. The measure also mandates stakeholder input—community boards and elected officials—in siting and requires a five‑year report on progress and costs.
Supporters framed the bill as responding to rapidly increasing bike use and to the needs of delivery workers; opponents cited concerns that were not detailed in the transcript.
