STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON THE CITY'S BILL TO REQUIRE CROSSOVER MIRRORS ON LARGE TRUCKS TO ELIMINATE BLIND SPOTS BEING SIGNED INTO LAW BY GOVERNOR CUOMO

“First, I want to thank Governor Cuomo for his support and for signing our bill into law. It’s been a long fight – too long – to get this common-sense safety legislation passed. We’ve been pushing for passage of this law for years, and finally this very simple solution is in place and should help save lives. I want to thank our bill sponsors – Senator Golden, Senator Lanza and Assemblywoman Millman – for their leadership on this issue and I want to thank Majority Leader Skelos and Speaker Silver for helping us break through on this issue and make our streets a little bit safer.”
