    Peter Stuyvesant (1592-1672) was the last director-general of the New Amsterdam and is famous for expanding this colony and building several landmark projects, such as Broadway.

    With a true dutch spirit of running a settlement, he addressed the fire issue in the city with a number of improvements. In order to reduce the risk of fire, colonists were commanded to remove wooden chimneys and replace roofs made of thatch, because they presented a fire hazard. He also introduced first fire wardens in the New Amsterdam, which laid foundation for the first fire department in the United States.

    In addition, Stuyvesant set speed limits on the streets of New Amsterdam and directed taverns to be closed at 9 p. m. to reduce drunk fighting on the streets.
