The Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety met with Chairman Daniel La Spata presiding, allowed several members to participate remotely, and heard three public commenters on residential and disabled parking, criticism of a council member, and traffic safety and red light enforcement on Cicero Avenue. The committee approved its January Rule 45 report. By voice motions it recommended approval of the direct introduction ordinances on pages 1 through 3, the recommended ordinances on page 4, and the no-recommendation ordinances on pages 5 through 8, after accepting three substitute ordinances revised on Department of Transportation recommendations. The items were to be reported to the next City Council meeting.
