Bellingham traffic camera opponents to collect final signatures Saturday

BELLINGHAM - The group backing the initiative that would restrict traffic-enforcement cameras is planning one last signature drive before they submit signatures.

Transportation Safety Coalition will gather petition signatures from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 18, at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Chestnut Street. Then they'll gather them starting at 6 p.m. at Boulevard Park before the free concert by The Paperboys.

The initiative would require removing any red-light and speed-enforcement cameras, and it would require voter approval if the city wanted to install them again. It would also limit the dollar amount of tickets issued under the program.

They need 3,880 signatures from Bellingham voters.

Because the voters have to live inside Bellingham, they want to hold one last signature drive "to feel completely comfortable about turning in the amount of valid signatures we require," according to group press release. The group plans to submit signatures Monday, June 20.

The cameras are a rip-off.

I strongly feel the cameras are not for the publics safty. The cameras are for profit, and we all know this.
