On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents in the Regal Heights neighbourhood raised concerns about the potential efficacy of new Traffic Control Signals recently installed at Oakwood Avenue and Rosemount Avenue. Citing studies from other jurisdictions, the residents argued there can be a higher occurrence of crashes injuring pedestrians at signalized intersections compared to non-signalized intersections. In order to allay community concerns and provide a more definitive understanding of local impacts, I am requesting Community Council to approve this motion.
