All of the below is very much editable. \r\n\r\nBy the way, these may change pretty often as more verified council members join, so having me be able to merge edits via GitHub is probably most efficient process? I would guess that's the expected workflow already. \r\n\r\nI'll have to find graphics for these, still. Let's chat over whether it should be photos or images. \r\n\r\nTraffic Congestion & For-Hire Vehicles Study\r\n\r\nhttp://nyc-councilmatic.datamade.us/legislation/int-847-2015/\r\n\r\n... some copy I threw together as summary, can be edited or hidden to expand: \r\n\r\nOn Aug. 10th, Mayor de Blasio signed into law a bill sponsored by Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez and nine others, \"to conduct a study on how growth in the taxi and for-hire vehicle industries has impacted traffic, air quality, noise, and public health.\" On September 16th, the Wall Street Journal reported that Uber, one major participant in the study's Advisory Group, would release different guidelines about how long such a study should take. On Sept. 17th, at a hearing by Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, Uber reiterated that a study should take longer than four months, but didn't provide extensive driver data in response to Brewer's oversight questions. For more info on next steps, ask your council member's office for an update and share the response in a comment on this bill page.

Council Member Williams had previously published an op-ed on April 10th, 2015 declaring his support for body cameras on all police: \"When implemented properly, body cameras are neutral observers and can protect citizens and officers alike.\" For more info on next steps, ask your council member's office for an update and share the response in a comment on this bill page.
