8.6. Additional Information - CQ 5/2019 - Implementing Red Light Cameras - City Wide

Councillor Francis inquires about the cost to implement red light cameras. Shawna Boakes, Senior Manager Traffic Operations & Parking Services, indicates that the first steps are to enter into an agreement with the actual vendor and with the City of Toronto. She adds that through her research of surrounding municipalities the cost is approximately $52,000 per year per camera.

Councillor Francis asks if there are other options other than the City of Toronto. Ms. Boakes replies that at this time she is not aware of another option and she adds that if the City of Windsor wishes to set up their own processing centre, it would involve a lengthy process with the Ministry of Transportation.

Councillor Francis refers to the report and the approximate 7,300 collisions at an intersection, 50% rear end collisions and asks if the red light cameras can make the situation worse in terms of rear end collisions. Ms. Boakes responds that municipalities using the cameras have reported an increase in rear end collisions.
