Leiper Adamantly Supports Traffic Speed Cameras
This is an X post from Kitchissippi councillor and mayoral candidate Jeff Leiper:
Speed enforcement cameras work to keep neighbourhoods safe by reducing dangerous speeding. I and Catherine are asking you to write to your MPP and Premier Ford to oppose legislation that would ban their use in Ontario cities. pic.twitter.com/8VlcRdWVsX

Thanks, Jeff. I met with my MPP and explained the problems with speed cameras, using the following, 1) walking through a proven problem solving methodology, 2) how data can be misused, 3) when surveys do and do not add value, 4) the problems of using an emotional approach versus risk management techniques when dealing with this issue. By the way, if you’re planning to use videos during your campaign for mayor, I suggest you consult with the master, Mike Patton. To begin with, don’t let them run beyond one minute in length if you want voters to listen to your entire message.
