A petition launched on March 10 has garnered 160 signatures in support of Coun. Riley Brockington’s motion for photo radar.

The River ward councillor’s motion, which will be seconded by Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who chairs the Ottawa Police Board, asks the provincial government’s permission for the city to use photo radar. Ontario started using photo radar on highways in 1994 but discontinued the program after Conservatives took power under Mike Harris less than a year later.

Signing the petition (safestreetsottawa.ca/content/safe-streets-ottawa) sends an email to your ward’s councillor asking them to support Brockington’s proposal. The Kitchissippi and Alta Vista wards currently have the most signatures.

Dalhousie Community Association president Michael Powell, who helped put the online petition together, said neighbourhood traffic speed is always an issue.

“There’s a real problem on streets that have people walking on them,” he said. “Enforcement is always an issue, and we see an opportunity here to improve enforcement and make our neighbourhoods safer.”

Ottawa city council will discuss Brockington’s motion on March 23.
