The high-level financial details contained within this report are based on estimates and assumptions obtained from other municipalities and the information is included to provide City Council with an order of magnitude. As noted previously, the current ASE program is in its pilot phase and therefore limited financial information is available at this time. Should Council decide to proceed with the ASE program, a more detailed analysis, with updated costs and revenues, will be included in a future Council Report.

Provincial Offences Office

Conclusion:

Should Council wish to pursue ASE further, the following recommendations could be considered:

It is REQUESTED that Administration update the School Neighbourhood Policy to allow for School Zones to be posted without the requirement of the reduced speed limit.

It is REQUESTED that Administration develop a Policy on how Community Safety Zones are selected and implemented.

It is REQUESTED that Administration provide an additional report as part of 2021 budget highlighting the progress of the Automated Speed Enforcement program in other Municipalities, provide budget estimates for Windsor based on preferred locations to implement ASE and request approval to enter into discussions with the Ministry of Transportation Ontario, the ASE program vendor and the City of Toronto if so directed.

Any funding required to implement both the School Neighbourhood Policy and the Community Safety Policy shall be noted in the budget request for 2021. This includes the cost for the installation of new signage in the areas recommended by the Policy and entered into the by-laws.
