Wait Til June For Automated Speed Cameras

Dubuque City Council members have decided to hold off on installing automated speed cameras in the city. After extensive discussion among council members and comments from residents, council members voted unanimously to postpone to June the first reading of the ordinance detailing how the speed cameras would be implemented and how fines would be issued. Mayor Brad Cavanagh proposed postponing consideration of the ordinance to give city staff time to conduct a traffic study in May to determine the prevalence of speeding on major city roadways.
