The success of the first five red light cameras during the program’s first year may result in the addition of fifteen more cameras.  A total of 586 notices for red light violators were sent out in the first thirty days of the program and numbers are currently on the decline.

 

The City reports that citations are down overall about forty percent over the last four months, when compared with the first four months of the program.  The red light cameras first went on line in July 2004.
