The first file on the late route safety board began with lamp checks, coach departures and worker route requests. The city then checked the source, heard affected residents and sent a second office to repeat the count.
The current Year fourth, early thaw window 2 file records 51 late departures with a lit path confirmed at both ends; the previous window records 46. The longer sequence makes the change visible, while each count remains tied to its own dates.
A turning point was the observation that the last lamp check occurs before the final coach departure. It narrowed the discussion from a general claim to a question about how the rule works at the site.
The city counts scheduled checks. Workers ask for a final check aligned with the last departure. The shared record is larger than it was at the start, although the parties still assign it different weight.
The council records a decision for this window and its reason. The board recorded the outcome that it closed the file after two records confirmed the same service interval.
