LETTER: Safety review or cash cow?

letter-sta

Thanks to Mike Killick for his concern about the speed review conducted by the city. He raised some excellent concerns about overall traffic safety in our city. This week I saw a report from the City of Regina concerning the changes that they made to their speed zones and more specifically changing school zones to playground zones with extended hours. They have implemented those changes six months ago, and sent out the photo radar enforcement team to enforce the “playground zones” around schools. The statistics are in and they are processing close to 60 per cent of their photo tickets in those zones after 5 p.m. and on weekends.

Pretty obvious to me what our city council is actually planning on accomplishing with this “safety” review ... Might be better to call it a Revenue Generation Review!
