Project is implemented after Council approval and funding are obtained. The City takes its role in traffic safety very seriously. We appreciate the thousands of complaints, requests and suggestions we receive from various sources every year because it helps us develop a safer transportation system. Due to limited resources, we cannot always respond immediately to some of your ideas, but we do value your suggestions or appreciate your concerns. Many transportation situations take considerable time to study and evaluate possible solutions.
Quick solutions are often less effective in the long run.
Appropriate solutions may cost the taxpayers a large amount of money, and we must prioritize the spending of these funds across the entire City. A potential problem in one part of the City must be weighed against another neighborhood problem. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
