As the city filed it

Ryan O'Connor, Senior Project Manager, Strategic Policy and Initiatives, Transportation Services will give a presentation on Pedestrian Streets Policy And Guidelines Development - Accessibility Feedback. Transportation Services is developing a new policy to guide the Division's approach to responding to opportunities to pedestrianize existing streets. This initiative will establish tools and direction for staff to determine the feasibility of pedestrianizing a particular street on a seasonal or permanent basis, as well as guidelines to ensure that the design, use, and ongoing maintenance of these pedestrian spaces align with existing City objectives and standards.
