THE CITY OF SANTA FE COULD SEE A RETURN OF UN-MANNED SPEED VANS. THE CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAS TO TAKE UP A PROPOSAL FROM FOUR COUNCILORS TO RE-INSTATE THE PROGRAM THAT WAS ENDED IN 2013 WHEN ITS CONTRACT WITH REDFLEX TRAFFIC SYSTEMS LAPSED. THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THE MOVE TO BRING BACK THE VANS IS, IN PART, BASED ON AN INCREASE IN SPEEDING AND ACCIDENTS SINCE THE PROGRAM ENDED.
BUT THE CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT DECIDED TO DELAY THE VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL UNTIL ITS MEETING NEXT MONTH. ONE OF THE FOUR SPONSORS OF THE BILL, COUNCILOR MIKE HARRIS, REQUESTED THE VOTE DELAY.
