Dear Minister Farnworth,
I am writing to you today on behalf of Victoria City Council to inform that the below motion was passed at the September 14, 2023 Council meeting:
MOTION:
That Council direct the Mayor to:
- write to the Provincial Government to request that it install speed and red light cameras at all locations in Victoria where there were over 20 casualty crashes during 2018-2022, or that it allow BC municipalities to install speed and red light cameras at their own cost and collect fines;
- ask other municipalities in the Capital Region and elsewhere in BC to write similar letters
A copy of the original Council Motion is attached for your information.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of this matter. I look forward to continued collaboration between our two offices to improve safety in Victoria.
Sincerely,
Marianne Alto Victoria Mayor
