Summary
A recent enforcement push caught lots of hazardous driving, especially near schools, but the chief says one officer on the traffic unit isn't enough. A federal 'Safe Streets for All' grant could fund a citywide safety study of problem intersections.

Impact analysis
The traffic unit expansion would require new budgeted positions; the grant study needs a local match if the federal grant doesn't come through.
Families, pedestrians and school zones benefit from safer streets.
People who have a heavy foot on the gas pedal are definitely taking the hit with all these new tickets.
