| * | Justin L. Brannan | | | Requiring that traffic study determinations be issued no later than 60 days from the date a traffic control device is requested by a city council member or community board. | Introduction | This bill would require the Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue a traffic study determination within 60 days of a request by a city council member or a community board for a traffic control device.

This amendment will speed up the current process overall by requiring this category of determinations to be issued within 60 days. | | |
