Restaurant owners need faster outdoor dining approvals to cook up something great for our city streets. 🍝

An investigation from our office found the permit process often takes 19 months or more. Since outdoor dining is busiest in warmer months, these delays can mean missing one or even two years of peak seasons. 🗣️ We're calling on NYC DOT to stop leaving applicants on the back burner and address systemic issues to speed up the process.

AI has great potential to transform NYC's economy, create opportunities and drive innovation. We need to make sure our city is ready to seize those opportunities while understanding and addressing the risks that come with adopting this revolutionary technology.

It's critical that we prepare our workforce for this transformation and develop a plan to ensure all New Yorkers can benefit from the opportunities ahead. Thanks to Politico and Joe Anuta for hosting this conversation.
