Significant Finding
The areas creating response time challenges continue to be along the borders of the city, particularly the eastern border.
The other significant challenge is the northwestern quadrant in Zone 92, which includes Nadine Circle (New Horizons).
As a reminder, the apparatus housed in a planning zone do not always respond to all quadrants in a planning zone. For example, Nadine Circle is on the northern border of Planning Zone 92 but is typically responded to by Station 1 units.
