Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Hi, <br /> <br />I’m a concerned OC resident and wanted to urge you to not implement more surveillance technology to reduce <br />speeding. <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana is considering asking our State Representatives to amend Assembly Bill 645 to <br />allow the City of Santa Ana to establish a Speed Safety Pilot Program. I support prioritizing safe <br />streets, without surveillance. <br /> <br />A Program would rely on automated camera and radar systems that capture images of vehicles and <br />license plates to enforce speed violations. While this may offer one approach to addressing traffic <br />safety, it also represents an expansion of surveillance technology that warrants careful consideration. <br />The City Council must proceed with caution and take additional steps to evaluate alternative, non- <br />surveillance based traffic measures before providing direction to staff that would advance the <br />establishment of a Speed Safety System Pilot Program. <br />Athe City considers additional automated enforcement tools, it is essential to evaluate the full impact <br />of these technologies and ensure they align with the City’s values and commitments to protecting our <br />most vulnerable communities. <br />It is critical that the City take a more deliberate and community centered approach before providing <br />direction that would advance the establishment of a Speed Safety Pilot Program. The Council must <br />pause on advancing this resolution and instead prioritize research, transparency and community <br />engagement. <br /> Thank you! <br />1 <br />
