Google Maps: Please add "reduce left turns" and "stay on truck routes" options

Last week, I wrote a letter -- together with Ydanis Rodriguez, Chair of the Council's Committee on Transportation -- asking Google Maps to add "reduce left turns" and "stay on truck routes" features to their application. These simple steps will help reduce crashes, make our streets safer and more livable, and even save lives.  You can view a copy of our letter below (and check coverage by WNYC here).
