Full RecordingProposed Amendment to Traffic Calming Policy No. 5200-016
Council recommended approval of amendments to the Traffic Calming Policy, formalizing the town's data-driven process and moving capital costs from residents to the municipal budget.
"Councillor Kowalewich raised ethical concerns about whether the policy should permit wealthier neighborhoods to pay for traffic calming measures if the Town's data showed no necessity, citing potential unfairness and setting a precedent of 'privilege.' Director Rosenberg confirmed that residents can still appeal directly to Council even if staff data shows no need for intervention."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the Committee recommend to Council that the proposed amendments to Traffic Calming Policy No. 5200-016 as shown in the Engineering Clerk's report dated April 1, 2021 entitled "Proposed Amendment to Traffic Calming Policy No. 5200-016" be approved."
