During its regular meeting Tuesday, which started nearly two hours behind schedule and adjourned at 11:45 p.m., the Berkeley City Council discussed the 2022 fiscal year budget and approved 37 items, including traffic calming measures and Willard Park ambassadors.
The traffic calming measures, authored by Councilmembers Susan Wengraf and Sophie Hahn, will provide $150,000 toward protecting pedestrians accessing Cragmont Elementary School. The measures followed the deaths of Anthony Rollins and Ruby Edwards in the car accident on Marin Avenue near the school.
