Summary

The police chief told the council enforcement began June 28 and provided a cumulative ticket count (reported as about 241) for the relevant area, while members cautioned that short-term campaigns can inflate measured results.

The police chief told the council that targeted enforcement in the corridor began on June 28 and said the department had issued what the chief reported as roughly 241 tickets in the broader enforcement effort. "As of Monday, I reported 241, I believe it was," the chief said, describing the department’s activity and its timing.

Council members voiced support for enforcement but warned that short-term campaigns make later comparisons difficult. One member suggested using a six-month follow-up to determine whether changes persist under normal operations; another noted enforcement is not sustainable everywhere and encouraged data-driven prioritization.
