US District Court Judge George B. Daniels made a statement today as the Court finalized the taxi settlement agreement that will result 50 percent yellow taxi access by 2020! Kudos to our coalition--Taxis for All and our attorneys, Disability Rights Advocates! We should not minimize the importance of this historic moment. Decades from now, most will take it for granted. But this is one of the most significant acts of inclusion in this city since Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers. It is an act of a city that equally values all of its residents and visitors. I commend the plaintiffs and their lawyers for their persistence, and the mayor and the citys representatives for the good judgment that todays agreement represents. It makes us a better city. It is simply the right thing to do.
