WHEREAS traffic safety in residential neighbourhoods continues to be an issue of primary concern to Courtenay residents, including speeding and intersection safety, with particular concern regarding the Back Road area between Courtenay and Comox;  


WHEREAS the City has limited methods of effective enforcement and limited financial resources to address traffic safety and municipal servicing in general; 


THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council advocate to the Provincial government for municipal implementation of photo radar and expanded use of intersection cameras to significantly improve traffic safety enforcement and generate much needed municipal revenue; and 


BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, if general municipal implementation is not supported or imminent, Council request implementation of a pilot speed enforcement program, utilizing photo radar or such other advanced technology as may be available, on an urgent basis on Back Road between Courtenay and Comox.
