The lights at an intersection do not change fast enough or only let a few cars through at a time. Whom can I contact about this?

submit a service request
through the YourGov app or website.

What is the Traffic Safety Committee?
The
Traffic Safety Committee
meets as necessary to discuss traffic issues raised by residents or City staff. The meetings are held to determine the best course of action to improve a traffic-related issue. Recommendations from the Committee are sent to the
