Referred by City Council at its meeting of 23 March 2016.

COUNCIL MOTION No. 28/10
WHEREAS, despite the fact
that the City of Ottawa uses multiple initiatives to calm traffic and reduce
the speed of traffic, residents continue to identify that speeding on local
streets is an on-going problem and a significant safety issue in Ottawa; and
|
WHEREAS the Ottawa Police
Chief has identified traffic enforcement as one of his top three priorities
and he has confirmed that he supports the use of technology to help keep our
roads safe, including speed monitoring devices like photo radar; and
|
WHEREAS the Province of
Ontario initiated the use of photo radar on provincial highways in 1994, but
this was discontinued following the change of government less than one year
later for what was considered by many to be political rather than safety
reasons; and
WHEREAS a
number of municipalities in Ontario have asked the provincial government to
allow local governments to use photo radar and/or other technology to address
speeding on local streets and there is a benefit to Ottawa residents to
adding this ability to the City’s current toolkit to address traffic and
speeding in our neighbourhoods;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
that City Council, through the Mayor, formally request that the Province of
Ontario allow municipalities the option of using photo radar on local
streets; and
BE IT
FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this request be forwarded to all local
Members of Provincial Parliament.
