BPAC accepts updated traffic‑calming petition process requiring 50%+1 resident support

City traffic staff presented an update to the traffic‑calming program approved by council, outlining a three‑tier approach: Tier 1 (low‑effort staff actions, no petition required), Tier 2 (passive measures such as chicanes or radar signs requiring resident petition and advisory approvals), and Tier 3 (active measures such as speed humps requiring petition, traffic data and fire/police review). Staff said Tier 2 and Tier 3 petitions must show a simple majority (50% plus one) of households on affected blocks to initiate the formal process.
