Traffic Fatalities and Corridor Enforcement

Reassignment of investigations within existing staffing rather than added traffic-unit positions.
Everyone who drives, walks, or bikes on city roads benefits from targeted enforcement at the most dangerous corridors.
Without action, children walking to school along dark, unfinished corridors remain at risk.
