This week on In Focus, New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez highlights the need for legal protections for transportation workers facing harassment and assaults. She talks about Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed legislation that aims to extend these protections to highway maintenance workers.
Dominguez details the Queen City Forward project in Buffalo, which seeks community input on reimagining the Kensington Expressway, and the I-81 project in Syracuse, which aims to connect communities.
She also mentions the Hunts Point project in the Bronx and the 787 project in Albany, both aimed at revitalizing infrastructure and improving community connectivity.
