Council adopts traffic-safety response policy to clarify committee role and evaluation criteria
Summary
The Astoria City Council adopted a revised Traffic Safety Advisory Committee response policy clarifying severity/frequency/vulnerability/feasibility terms and expanding options beyond the traditional education/enforcement/engineering framework. Councilor Mozzarella moved adoption and the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff presented revisions to the traffic safety response policy that add definitions (severity, frequency, vulnerability, feasibility) and open the committee to options beyond the three E's (education, enforcement, engineering). Councilor Davis thanked staff for addressing prior comments; Councilor Adams noted the change improves committee clarity and utility for addressing pedestrian and vehicle accident concerns.
Councilor Mozzarella moved adoption of the policy. "I move that the Astoria City Council adopts the traffic safety advisory committee, traffic safety response policy, and protocol," she said; the measure was seconded, members voted in favor and the motion carried by voice vote.
