The unit's work relates to every aspect of traffic operations, safety, and transportation planning from curb-cuts to area-wide studies.
The Mayoral Administration recently released the Streamlining Procedures to Expedite Equitable Development ("SPEED") report with reforms to make City processes faster and more accountable across four stages of development: environmental review and planning; pre-development and financing; permitting and approvals; and marketing and lease-up.
