A Toronto MPP is calling on the city to expand its automated speed enforcement program in the wake of a number of collisions involving pedestrians.
NDP MPP Jessica Bell, who represents the University-Rosedale riding, says the challenge is there are not enough speed cameras to go around, approximately two-and-a-half years after the devices first started issuing tickets in July 2020.
“We should have enough to go around. City budget process is happening right now. We're calling Mayor John Tory to fund the program properly to keep people safe,” Bell told CP24. In a statement provided to CP24 on Thursday, a spokesperson for the mayor’s office said that Tory will “deliver on his promise to double the number of speed cameras to 150 this term.
