Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.
Background
The City has received complaints from residents regarding
the perceived dangers of crossing Bowman and Harris Streets and the relatively
high speeds of drivers.
In January 2023, a run-off road crash occurred on Bowman Street. Crash history within the last 5 years have shown that there is a serious injury crash involving a pedestrian crossing the Harris Street within the vicinity of the project sites.
Residents' complaints and the recent crashes have provided
the impetus to introduce pedestrian improvement treatments.
