Resident urges citizen oversight after photos of unsafe streetwork on Greenlawn Boulevard

Peter Orr of 1516 Ashwood Court addressed council during citizen communication with photos he said documented unsafe work on Greenlawn Boulevard. He described multiple loaders and construction vehicles operating "in the middle of the street" with only a single 'roadwork ahead' sign and said the crew of about 30 had "no traffic safety in place." Orr also alleged minimal inspection records, no pre‑construction meeting and only three progress meetings on what he called an "$8,000,000 project." "This is a very dangerous situation," Orr said.

Orr told council he had contacted the Transportation Department with no response and urged the creation of a citizen oversight committee similar to a Department of City Efficiency to improve reporting and inspections. The mayor thanked Orr and council did not take immediate action on his specific requests during the meeting; staff follow‑up would be required to investigate the claims.
