A City Council member wants to know why Con Ed eased up for two years on testing city-owned traffic signals for potentially deadly stray voltage.
“Regard for public safety has never been their first concern,” said Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Queens).
The Post broke the story of Con Ed’s lapse last week.
Between March 2007 and March 2009, the company used a less stringent voltage-measuring procedure that resulted in an average 53 stray voltage hits on traffic signals each month — about 80 percent less than before and after that period.
