Council Member Cummings described the unsafe conditions of the road as being extremely narrow, without sidewalks on either side for children to transit as they walk to the bus stop and is used as a cut-through between the Little Neck and King' Grant neighborhoods with a traffic count of up to 750 vehicles per day.

Mayor Dyer expressed his support to move the Ordinance forward. City Manager Duhaney advised this approach aligns with the direction the Body provided during the recent City Council Retreat, as part of the Focus Action Plan, to consider qualitative factors as part of future Traffic Calming Program Policy updates.
