Edmonston police report notes stop-work orders, one-direction speed camera; county 'Go Kart with a Cop' program planned
Summary
Police Chief Eric Beale told the council on July 9 that the department issued a July 2 stop-work order to businesses not in compliance with the new business-license rules, has a speed camera operating in one direction on Kenilworth Avenue while the red-light camera and other speed camera remain pending, and plans a summer 'Go Kart with a Cop' event in partnership with the county.
Police Chief Eric Beale reported to the Town of Edmonston Town Council on July 9 that the department’s regular crime, citation and impound reports were presented and that enforcement activity included a stop-work order issued July 2 to businesses not compliant with the town’s new business-license requirements.
Beale said a speed camera is operating in one direction on Kenilworth Avenue; the department is “working on” the red-light camera and the town’s other speed camera and is awaiting further updates. He also announced a summer community event, described in the minutes as a “Go kart with a cop,” to be held in partnership with the County.
The council record does not provide the number or names of businesses subject to the July 2 stop-work order, the expected timeline for activation of the red-light camera or the second speed camera, nor detailed specifications for the enforcement cameras. Those details were not specified in the minutes and would require follow-up with the Police Department or town staff.
Town Administrator Rod Barnes also briefed the council during the meeting, thanking staff for the Party on the Bridge Fourth of July fireworks-watching event, noting that America in Bloom advisors will be in town on July 24, and saying that a student from End Time Harvest Ministries and a local high-school student are assisting Public Works during the summer.
