After more than 32,000 speeding tickets were handed out in just three weeks by new automated speed enforcement cameras in community safety zones, council in the City of Vaughan decided to pause the program.
Mayor Steven Del Duca put forward the motion last week to pause the tickets until September, when council is due to receive a report from staff on ways the city can create more effective signage about the presence of cameras.
So no example of a city that has successfully implemented all these ideas and was better for it?
Because there’s lots of cities that have successfully done mostly the opposite and are better for it (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Montreal, Paris, Bergen, Oulu, etc)
Sure, if you’re going to make the city fully designed for pedestrians and cyclists, with proper public transit connecting cities that would be fantastic.
Shit, Europe also has the Autobahn, but we’d be fucked if we tried to have a highway like that over here.
You say it sounds good, yet you’re advocating for the exact opposite design principles 🤔
And as I’m sure you’re aware, Montreal isn’t in Europe lol but it’s pretty great
