Stirling-Rawdon council will consider joining other municipalities and installing an Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera system.
Mayor Bob Mullin tells Quinte News council has decided to ask for a quote from a City of Brampton firm that administers and sends tickets to drivers caught going over the speed limit by a camera in a community safety zone.
Mullin stresses that council has not made a final decision adding that if Stirling-Rawdon were to install an Automated Speed Enforcement sytem a good spot for a camera would be on the stretch of West Front Street from the arena into the village’s downtown.
In other council news it’s back to the drawing board as far as new development charges in Stirling-Rawdon.
It was expected that council would pass a new development charge bylaw at its meeting Monday but Mayor Bob Mullin tells Quinte News
council decided to send the bylaw back to staff with an eye to lowering some of the charges.
This after hearing from the Quinte Homebuilders Association.
As proposed development charges on a fully serviced urban area single family dwelling would be 169% to a little over $33,000 from the current $12,300.
Mullin says he believes the proposed charges can be dropped a little and council will revisit the matter next month.
