The city, as they say, is going to the birds.
The City Council is set to approve a measure requiring "bird-friendly" glass on all new construction so that it is more visible to birds passing by.
Reflective and transparent glass, which skyscrapers often use, tend to confuse flying birds.
Back in 2018, NY1 reporter Angi Gonzalez chronicled the degree to which birds were dying in the city.
"Because New York City is along a major bird migration corridor," Gonzalez wrote, "the New York City Audubon estimates that anywhere from 90,000 to 230,000 birds die in the city each year from flying into buildings."
New York would be following the lead of several California cities, including San Francisco and Oakland, which have adopted similar legislation.
