Windsor Locks commission votes to pursue feasibility study of automated traffic cameras
Summary
The Windsor Locks Police Commission unanimously approved pursuing next steps to investigate automated traffic-control cameras after a presentation; commissioners did not set locations, costs or a timeline and directed staff to study feasibility.
The Windsor Locks Police Commission voted unanimously Oct. 28 to pursue next steps in evaluating automated traffic-control cameras, approving a motion to investigate the technical, legal and operational feasibility of such systems.
Commissioner Douglas Glazier moved the motion “To move forward with the next step in the process for Automated Traffic Cameras,” and Commissioner Robert Crochetiere seconded. The motion carried 5-0.
The presentation to the commission outlined the camera program concept and requested permission to investigate feasibility. Commissioners did not record specific sites, funding sources or an implementation timeline in the meeting minutes. The motion authorizes staff to explore options including procurement, vendor capability, legal constraints and required coordination with state and local traffic authorities.
Chief Eric Osanitsch was listed as present for the meeting; the minutes do not record further technical details or dollar estimates. The commission’s vote did not appropriate funds or finalize policy; it directed staff to return with findings and recommendations for the commission’s consideration.
Next steps are limited to the feasibility and information-gathering phase; any enforcement rules, contracts, camera locations or funding commitments would require separate action by the commission or other town bodies.
