Why is this story here?
ContainedA single intersection traffic signal installation is a bounded, reversible decision affecting one location. While it improves safety at that specific spot, it does not constrain future councils or change the institution. This passes the real-but-contained test: something genuinely happens, but at a defined site.Touches a narrow groupThe traffic signal affects safety and flow at Royal York Road and Royal York Court. This is a real but narrow salience: drivers and pedestrians at that intersection will notice, but it does not touch most residents' daily life. A single intersection improvement does not reach the broad-and-real threshold.
Stories are ordered by how much weight a decision carries and how directly it reaches daily life. They rise as a decision date approaches and fall as they age.
