Why is this story here?

ContainedA staff study of an existing neighbourhood and its traffic patterns is bounded and reversible. It collects information and may inform future decisions, but does not itself change what the city does or constrain future councils. The study is a genuine decision (approve the work) but contained to one area and one function.Touches a narrow groupThe effect is indirect and geographically narrow. Residents of Wellington Place may eventually benefit from improved traffic management, but nothing changes this week as a result of ordering the study. A study is a deferral of salience by definition: the subject (Wellington Place transit) may be salient, but the decision (to study it) produces no present-week effect on anyone's commute, safety, or transit access.

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.
