202103006 17.MotionMOTION, submitted by Councilmember Goodin, As we emerge from the pandemic, pedestrian safety has emerged as one of the primary quality of life issues in our City’s neighborhoods. Nowhere is the need more acute than in Northside. Recent events have shown that the lack of new pedestrian safety measures is, in the most literal sense, a matter of life and death. Past council efforts to secure additional funding for pedestrian measures in this neighborhood have not been successful. Accordingly, WE MOVE that the Administration IMMEDIATELY engage with the Northside Community Council and other community stakeholders to ascertain which intersections merit enhanced pedestrian safety measures consistent with VisionZero goals (including, but not limited to, curb bump-outs, raised crosswalks and road diets); instruct the Department of Transportation & Engineering (DOTE) to prepare a proposed budget for such enhancements; and prepare a list of potential sources of funding for such enhancements (including, but not limited to, any unallocated American Rescue Plan dollars).Referred to Budget & Finance Committee  Action details Not available
