On the agenda

As the city filed it

A recent pedestrian fatality on O'Connor Drive near Pepler Avenue has underscored the concern that the community has about the speed of vehicles along O'Connor Drive. In 2019, Transportation Services was requested to undertake a safety review of the intersections and the corridor generally. A community petition, signed by over 600 residents, is asking for this review to be expedited. This Motion accelerates some of the more basic requests that the community has made and asking for the larger report to come back as soon as possible.
