When a car hit and killed her 12-year-old son in Brooklyn a decade ago, Amy Cohen dedicated herself to making streets safer for children and other New Yorkers.

A bill named for her son, Sammy Cohen Eckstein, is now known as Sammy's Law. The bill would give New York City the power to set its own speed limits, and it has the support of the governor, Mayor Adams and the City Council. The state's Senate has passed it, and most Assembly members said they'd support it too.

But they never got a chance. The Assembly special session ended without Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie bringing it to a vote. This is the second time the bill has gotten this close, only to expire in the Assembly.

Amy Cohen is the mother of Sammy Cohen Eckstein, for whom Sammy's Law is named. She's also the cofounder of Families for Safe Streets, which provides support services for crash survivors.

She joined WNYC's Michel Hill to reflect on another year of waiting on Sammy's Law, and what comes next for advocates like her.
