General Election
New York CityProposal 3
Streets, city property and offices
One vote covers three subjects: street projects, disposal of city property and acquisition of office space.
Arguments
The case for change, the concerns raised, and how each relates to the proposal.
Faster street projects and procedural safeguards
Supports proposal
Transportation Alternatives argues that changing the process would reduce delays in street-safety projects.

What the adopted text says
Agency consultation remains required, but a missed consultation would no longer invalidate a project. The transportation commissioner retains notification and presentation obligations.
What to weigh
Would this remove avoidable delays while preserving meaningful consultation?
Three subjects decided together
Concern raised
Reinvent Albany supports street reforms but argues they should not be combined with property and office-space decisions in the same ballot question.
Reinvent Albany · July 22, 2026 · Before adoption
What the adopted text says
The adopted question covers street projects, city-property disposition and office leasing in a single YES or NO decision.
What to weigh
If you support the street changes but disagree with a property or office provision, how do you weigh the combined package?
