Board hears proposal to pilot red‑light cameras at two Greenburgh intersections
Summary
Town attorney introduced a local law to permit red‑light camera enforcement at two intersections in Greenburgh; the board closed the hearing and left the record open for seven days for comment. Fines would be $50, with a $25 late fee.
The Town Board of Greenburgh held a public hearing on a proposed local law to authorize traffic‑signal photo violation monitoring devices at two town intersections as a pilot program.
Town attorney Joe Danko described how the system would work and said the police and traffic coordinator recommended two initial locations: Ardsley Road at Old Army Road and East Hartsdale Avenue at Rockledge Road. Under the draft local law, a vehicle owner would receive a $50 fine for a red‑light violation captured by the camera; an additional $25 could be added for failure to respond or pay by the date on the ticket.
Board members and staff said the locations were chosen after reviewing police crash and traffic reports. No public speaker opposed the proposal during the hearing. The board voted to close the hearing and leave the record open for seven days to allow written comment and potential amendments to the site list or implementation language.
Next steps: written comments will be accepted for seven days; staff and counsel will prepare final draft language for the board to consider at a subsequent meeting.
