Edmonton city council is reviewing its extreme weather policy for vulnerable people in transit stations, weighing how to combine a care-first response with public safety. The policy concerns people who may seek shelter in transit stations during extreme weather.

The discussion focuses on maintaining a caring approach alongside measures intended to protect public safety. The source does not provide details about proposed bylaw changes, specific stations, or a timeline for the review.
