The Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety heard four public commenters, most of whom raised matters outside the committee's subject area, including property claims, a domestic relations case, and treatment of Black residents; one online speaker argued that the city installs all-way stop signs without meeting federal traffic warrant criteria. The committee approved a remote participation request and the May Rule 45 report. It then recommended approval, by voice vote without discussion, of all direct introduction ordinances, the department-recommended ordinances, a substitute ordinance for item 7 on page 6 correcting language per the Department of Transportation, and the ordinances on pages 7 through 11 that had no departmental recommendation.

Topics: traffic ordinances, stop signs, public comment, Rule 45 report
