New Yorkers can ask Transportation Committee Chair Selvena Brooks-Powers, of Far Rockaway, if our city should have done the same. And if so, what has been the holdup to fully funding the NYC DOT — how did the Adams administration exacerbate the agency’s atrophy.
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Just the start.
Common sense.
