The sponsor's argument

Why Luis R. Sepúlveda says this is needed

Community boards and community members alike are becoming increasingly concerned about the implementation of incoming bicycle lanes and racks across the Bronx. Concerns include the decrease of parking spaces for community members, an increase in traffic congestion, issues with load- ing and unloading children from school buses, and accessibility concerns during emergencies. This legislation would require the NYC Department of Transportation to work with the community when implementing new bike lanes and racks. While it is vital that we keep cyclists safe, it is also important to strike a healthy balance to accommodate community concerns. This legis- lation aims to continually develop relationships between the NYC DOT and the community which it serves.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
