It looks like Minneapolis could get red light cameras sometime in 2005. This afternoon the Public Safety and Regulatory Services Committee voted 4-0 (Niziolek, Colvin Roy, Johnson, Samuels) to move a proposed red light camera ordinance forward. CM Colvin Roy indicated she receives more complaints regarding speeding and red light running than any other issue except the airport noise. CMs Niziolek and Johnson said they receive a substantial number of speeding and red light running complaints. CM Samuels said he is willing to give red light cameras a try but he is concern about potential legal challenges. Opponents to the ordinance testified that it raised a number of privacy and due process issues and that it was a mere drivers tax revenue raiser. Bill Dooley Kenny REMINDERS: 1.
