✦ Plain-Language Summary
This bill would make the Parks Department responsible for improving street medians throughout the city. Currently, other city agencies handle median maintenance, but this change would centralize responsibility under Parks. This could lead to better landscaping and upkeep of the green spaces that divide streets in neighborhoods like Flatbush and Midwood.
