That with respect to Alderman MacLeod’s Motion, Green Sheet Re: Pedestrian Traffic Safety the following be adopted: WHEREAS The City experiences an average of approximately 360 collisions between pedestrians and vehicles each year, and due to vulnerability of pedestrians this results in an average of 330 injuries, with a small number resulting in fatality (average 6 per year); AND WHEREAS sometimes a primary factor in these collisions is the inability of the driver to see the pedestrians, and that reduced visibility can be related to a number of factors including the location, the time of day, and/or the pedestrian’s clothing; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Administration, in collaboration with the Calgary Police Service, investigate the issues that contribute to pedestrian-vehicle collisions, identify potential actions that could be implemented and the associated costs of these actions, and report back on the findings of this investigation to the SPC on Transportation and Transit no later than 2013 July.
