The following safety concerns have been raised by the public

Crime	Police not enforcing helmet laws at Santa Claus parade. What message does that sent to the many children watching??
Violence	I am concerned about the amount of violence that occurs in the work place = employers simply don't put good programs in place
Senior Safety	Many seniors are in their homes along and it is difficult to find proper help and support for them on a part time basis
Road/Traffic Safety	Left hand turns should not be allowed coming from the Tim Horton's on Dundas Street West
Street/Pedestrian Safety	Are all city bus stops illuminated for user safety? Could be solar powered lights!
Crime	More lighting in rural areas, suggestions for reducing thefts in Thurlow area.
Other	Odour caused by processing at the Domtar plant in Trenton.
Other	Safe use of ladders and tripping accidents eg. loose or rolled mats.
Bike Safety	Safe use of bicycles on the area roadways, suggestions - designated bicycle lanes. Some of our roadways are too narrow to pass safely.
Road/Traffic Safety	Wheelchair and scooter safety, mobility issues when travelling on area roadways. Cars can approach and/or overtake them and cause great danger.
Violence	Workplace and School yard bullying.
Road/Traffic Safety	Drivers to increase their use of safe driving skills, and also increase the enforcement of infractions.
Road/Traffic Safety	Reluctance of the city to reduce the speed limits especially on residential streets where there are transit routes.
Road/Traffic Safety	Concerns for the number of drivers who do not give right of way to emergency vehicles. Driver pre-occupation with radios, cell phones etc. Drivers sometimes do not know which direction they are approaching from.
Street/Pedestrian Safety	Sidewalks are very uneven, poses safety concerns for those walking, in both good weather and bad.
Street/Pedestrian Safety	The corner of Paterson Street and Pinnacle Street the curb needs to be fixed. Uneven and no hand rails.
School Safety	School bus stops need to be evaluated, the locations of some are in dangerous areas eg. on top of a hill - reduced visibility.
Road/Traffic Safety	I have often seen Belleville Police cruisers driving twice as fast as regular traffic flow, a number of times on N. Front Street, Cannifton Road, Dundas St., even once on Bridge St. - no lights flashing, no siren. I have seen a cruiser at the Cannifton - College intersection make a left hand turn to go west onto College by going the wrong way through the southbound right hand turn lane, jumping a curb in the process - didn't put his lights or siren on until he was on the far side of the College Street Bridge. It's all well and good for our police force to respond quickly to emergencies, but they should be using the warning systems on their vehicles so the rest of the driving and walking public know they need to get out of the way. One of these days, some innocent person is going to get hit.
Accessibility	my concern is the number of buildings that are not accessible to wheel chairs
Workplace Safety	I am concerned about the number of people working on roofs without proper safety equipment
Street/Pedestrian Safety	concerned about safety in the down town core
