Which neighborhoods have seen the highest increase in camera revenue?
0:59:46
haven't expanded it.
1:00:27
Commissioner, I just ask you to lower the defense because last time I checked myself and my colleagues supported the expansion of the red light cameras as well.
1:00:36
My question is just to understand the dataset on where the program is right now.
1:00:41
So I'm asking are you saying that you're only at the 150 now, you guys haven't expanded Yes.
1:00:45
Okay, thank you for that clarification because then that can help me skip a few questions here.

We are first of all, we're with the new vendor that we selected based on scoring.
0:59:19
But now we had to work with, you know, all the details through the process.
0:59:24
When it came to installing the new red light camera.
0:59:29
So far we're operating on our 50 location that we have.
0:59:35
And we are in conversation with the selected vendor on expanding to our 600 locations.
0:59:46
Excuse me, chair.
0:59:47
I think that if you don't mind, I want to say that we all again should be proud of this.
0:59:53
It is under your time and our administration that we were able to persuade Albany to allow to move from 150 location to 600.
1:00:03
As also we were able to get in this administration in your time to expand the speed camera 20 to 24 from 6AM to 10PM to be twenty four seven.
1:00:14
So at this moment, again, how do where do we have a a red light camera?
1:00:19
Where do we have a a a speed camera where data is showing that we had to focus more in those areas.
