South Gateway project costs rise
Summary
EPD's new corridor initiative tackles traffic deaths (ten fatal collisions since 2020), blight, theft, and disruptive behavior along Broadway and 4th/5th with near-9,000 traffic stops last year, amber-light deterrence, and outreach paired with accountability. Colin Fiske of CRTP pushed back, arguing street redesign — not enforcement — is what actually cuts crashes.
