Ian Thorpe No

Yes, thank you. Your worship, if I may to item ten. A one, the Lost Lake road traffic. Calming. And if council remembers, this extremely important subject was debated on November 24, I believe, and at that point, I was quite prepared to accept the staff recommendation. Councilor East, Muir wished to add, and did add, including Ballards on the outside of the lanes around the smoky crescent intersection, and that caused some debate. Eventually, this item was referred to the public safety committee. And I see they have come back with no recommendation. So I'm sorry. I just have to spend any more time on this matter, your worship. But seen as this was not the original recommendation, This is not what was recommended by our transportation experts. The local citizens did not request the ballards, and our public safety committee is not recommending them, so. I cannot support the recommendation now before us. Thank you.

Hilary Eastmure Yes

It wasn't. I believe Councilor Thorpe. Is incorrect when he says that the public safety committee did not recommend the Ballards. That's not accurate. They just didn't make a recommendation over and above. What council had already decided on this?
