A week after hailing them as a high-tech way to make the city’s streets safer, Colorado Springs police said Tuesday they plan to stop using cameras to catch red-light runners by the end of the year.
 
Interim Police Chief Pete Carey informed the City Council of the decision during a work session on the Police Department's 2012 budget.
 
"The jury's still out," Carey said on whether the cameras cut down on accidents at the four intersections where they had been installed: Bijou Street and Nevada Avenue; Circle Drive and Platte Avenue; Murray Road and Platte; and Oro Blanco Drive and Barnes Road.
