Vision Zero has run into a speed bump in Albany.
There are only seven working days left to slash the speed limit in New York City to 25 mph, a top goal of Mayor De Blasio — but no one in the state Senate has agreed yet to sponsor the bill.
If it doesn’t pass this session, the city would have to wait another year to lower the speed limit.
The bill, introduced by Upper West Side Assemblyman Daniel O’Donnell, is also being sponsored by Speaker Sheldon Silver.
More than 100 people have been killed in traffic accidents so far this year.
Family members of people killed in crashes want Albany to speed up the pace.
“This is a matter of life and death,” said Aaron Charlop-Powers, a 29-year-old Brooklyn Heights member of the group Families for Safe Streets.
He wants other New Yorkers to be spared the grief he went through after his mother was killed in The Bronx.
“We cannot allow Albany to get off the hook for the traffic deaths on our streets, we need their action and we need it now,” said Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, chair of the transportation committee.
Pedestrians hit when a driver is going 25 mph have a 90 percent survival rate, according to transportation studies.
“This is a priority for the administration,” said Mayor DeBlasio spokesman Wiley Norvell. “This is something we need to protect our families and our neighborhoods. We are hopeful the State Senate will take it up before the session ends.”
