direct staff to report back on a strategy for achieving zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries, including:

  • A review of best practices from other jurisdictions,
  • An action plan, and
  • A funding strategy to accelerate implementation.
  • BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Council

direct staff to report back with quick start actions by June, 2016, and longer-term policies by November, 2016.
