But Gray said it is still too many.
According to Jon Van Heyst of Bike Calgary, visibility and reliability are critical for people who walk, run and bike on city sidewalks. Gray said outages lasting longer than 30 days, outages on major roadways as well as outages in areas heavily used by pedestrians are prioritized.According to Rajbir Bhatti, an associate professor of supply chain management at Mount Royal University, the shortage of luminaires can be attributed to the high demand for new vehicles.Luminaires require a certain grade of semiconductor wafers, which are also used in semiconductor chips commonly found in newer vehicle models.
Gray told Global News the city doesn’t anticipate further delays related to materials due to the changes made in its inventory.
