| Description | Over the past three years, we’ve completed 19 rezonings that direct development to areas well-served by transit. We’ve created over 200 miles of bicycle lanes and enacted a bike access law to make cycling in the city easier. We’ve enacted a clean air law for school buses, which protects our children from harmful emissions and lowers the retirement age of school buses. We’ve acquired almost 29,000 acres of land to protect our upstate water supply. We’ve passed the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan—the most comprehensive green building legislation in the country and the single largest action we can take to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. We’ve launched the city’s first bus rapid transit route and successfully piloted pedestrian plazas in Times and Herald Squares. We’ve planted over 322,000 trees as part of our MillionTreesNYC effort, and we’ve completed 86 energy efficiency projects as part of our commitment to reduce City government grenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2017— which will result in over $2.3 million in annual energy savings. We’ve greened 25 percent of our yellow taxi fleet, reducing emissions from some of our heaviest-used vehicles. And we’ve developed the city’s first ever climate change projections. |
