For our traffic operations division, we also have good news to share.
0:16:34
We have identified our top vendor for our new automatic enforcement contract and are working with them on a schedule to install new red light cameras thanks to the expansion we secured in Albany last year.
0:16:51
We are also working with our partners in the state legislate legislature to reauthorize our lifesaving speed camera program set to expire in July.
0:17:04
And the reason why it's a lifesaving speed tool is because where we have installed a speed camera, we are seeing a major reduction of speeding, a major reduction of crashes in those locations.

We look forward to work with the council to pass the Home Rule message.
