Yes. The comments on these articles secretly amuse me. That is all

Yeah. 
A similar story gets run every year because not much changes every year.
The population gets bigger, the roads get more congested, & the lemmings put
more & more fuel closer & closer to their homes.

I believe there was talk of red-flagging streets & properties which are
indefensible / death-traps like they do in some parts of USA & Canada.
IIRC it was kyboshed on the grounds that it is illegal to scare people with
specific information directly relevant to individuals. eg. your street is so
narrow & overgrown that a fire truck cannot get into it.  [insert bleak humour icon here]...
