Recent win: Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program

Eichenstein Opposes Safety Boosting Speed Camera Program Reauthorization
👎 Negative
2025-06-23 · Leadership · Streetsblog NYC · ↓ hurts grade
Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
Eichenstein votes no, opposing safer school speed zones for children.
👎 Negative
2025-06-17 · Vote · Open States · ↓ hurts grade
Senate passes S 8344. School speed zone rules in New York City get extended. Lawmakers make technical fixes. The bill keeps pressure on drivers near schools. Streets stay a little safer for kids.
Eichenstein votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.
👎 Negative

Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Eichenstein votes no, opposing a bill that would improve school zone safety.
👎 Negative
2025-06-16 · Vote · Open States · ↓ hurts grade
White Plains gets speed cameras near schools. Lawmakers move fast. Most vote yes. Cameras catch drivers who endanger kids. Program ends 2030. Streets may slow. Danger faces children every day.

👎 Negative
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↓ hurts grade
Mandating reports that recommend moving low-usage bike-share stations to higher-demand areas risks pulling service from underserved neighborhoods, reducing coverage, equity, and first/last‑mile access. This likely suppresses mode shift and safety-in-numbers where it’s most needed while shifting responsibility from infrastructure improvements to users.

👎 Negative
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↓ hurts grade
Tying reports to recommendations to relocate low-usage bike-share stations pushes assets from underserved or emerging areas to already high-demand zones, undermining equitable coverage, mode shift, and safety-in-numbers benefits. Any localized ridership gains are likely outweighed by system-wide reductions in access and growth potential for pedestrians and cyclists outside core areas.
