Record city spending, and the proposed solution? Fee hikes and speed cameras—strategically placed where Baltimore City Department of Transportation expects to squeeze the most out of drivers. This isn’t about safety; it’s blatant revenue extraction. And once again, it’s disproportionately targeting certain communities.

I wish the money went to repaving 7 mile lane between Park Heights and Reistertown Road.

I believe traffic cameras are supposed to be for safety and not for revenue generation...

If only we could do something about the speeding and running of the stop sign on Taney Road.

Well, between mistimed signals, ridiculous & mostly unused bike lanes along with speed & red light cameras everywhere, the powers that be are basically continuing to make the city a very unwelcoming place for everyone. Make it stop!!

The vast majority of City Council members are NOT concerned about safety or the well being of their constituents! Thank you for being the voice of reason within City Government!

What a government we have- how do we fee and tax to death our citizenry? Deficits are dealt with by establishing creative taxation. You people sap the joy out of spending time in Baltimore. Here's a thought, deal with juvenile crime, fix the roads and do something about the graffiti that's everywhere. In some spots the city looks like a war zone! Hey maybe these speed cameras, for 12 million dollars, could be programmed to record the people who are defacing the Jones Falls Expressway with graffiti- ha!
