The mayor was also pushing for an expansion of the red light camera program and a geographic expansion of speed cameras so that they are not limited to school zones. The state Legislature has to grant permission to the city to change speed limits or put in place new cameras. In March, Adams said he would advocate for full control of city streets.
A Council source said members anticipate having a session this week to pass the message. The new program will be in place for three years, at which point it will be up for renewal again in Albany.īut in order for the agreement to go into effect, the City Council has to pass a home rule message indicating that it is backing the measure. Currently, the cameras can function between 10 a.m. The agreement will permit the speed cameras to run at all hours. Mayor Eric Adams is getting close to getting a deal to operate 750 speed cameras that are set up in New York City school zones 24/7, POLITICO’s Danielle Muoio Dunn reports. We'll take a look at the week ahead and a look back at the past week. Good morning and welcome to the Monday edition of the New York Education newsletter.
