The Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety, chaired by Alderperson Daniel La Spata, approved remote participation for Alderpersons Chico and Robinson and heard seven public commenters. Comments addressed stop signs placed without traffic studies, the removal of parking for bike lanes on the 2700 block of North California Avenue, pedestrian conditions near the Lakeshore Hotel, crossing time at 29th Street and King Drive, and other concerns. The committee approved the July Rule 45 report and recommended approval of all direct introduction ordinances, recommended ordinances, and no-recommendation ordinances on the agenda, including a substitute residential permit parking ordinance, by the same roll call used to establish quorum. The items will be reported to the next City Council meeting.

Topics: traffic safety ordinances, stop signs, bike lanes and parking, residential permit parking, public comment
