Traffic Speed Cameras

Context

Gary Rosen asked the Traffic and Parking Committee to hold hearings on public support for legislation the state is expected to pass allowing cities to install speed cameras in school zones and on municipal streets. The order describes it as tied to the legislature's $575 million economic development bill, allowing 40 cameras in Worcester and fines up to $100 for exceeding limits by 11 mph or more.

Status

Referred to the Traffic and Parking Committee on 2026-08-18 (8-0, Khrystian E. King abstaining); the referral was reconsidered at Luis A. Ojeda's motion (10-0) and then re-voted 8-0 after he questioned the City Manager.
