Public Safety on our Streets?
Following a series of high profile injuries resulting from items thrown from pedestrian overpasses, Council Member Erik Martin Dilan, Chair of the Committee on Housing and Buildings, and Council Member James Vacca, Chair of the Committee on Transportation, will hold a joint hearing to examine two bills that address the need for fencing on publicly accessible overpasses.
Introduction 750-A would require private developers to construct 8-foot high fences on publicly accessible pedestrian walkways and commercial parking garages that are part of shopping malls.
