Scott Stringer Asks: What Are Your Budget Priorities?

If you had to choose where the city should cut funding, which mode of transportation would you target? Personal automobiles, cabs, Access-A-Ride? How about buses, subways, bikes, and pedestrian safety enhancements?

If you had to choose where the city should cut funding, which mode of transportation would you target? Personal automobiles, cabs, Access-A-Ride? How about buses, subways, bikes, and pedestrian safety enhancements?

This somewhat loaded prompt is one of several transportation-related questions posed by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer in an online survey on the next city budget. There’s also an open-ended comment section at the end.

Results will be included as part of Stringer’s response to the mayor’s budget proposal, which calls for $5 million in cuts to DOT “Complete Streets” projects. The deadline for responses is this Friday, March 5. If you have a few minutes to spare this week, it couldn’t hurt to click on over.
