Twenty-five pole-mounted speed cameras in Toronto have been severely vandalized since last fall, including a Parkside Drive camera cut down six times between November 2024 and July. Under the current contract with Redflex Traffic Solutions, the vendor is responsible for repairs, replacements and associated costs through July 2029 with a maintenance period until August 2031. The high frequency of incidents could increase costs for future procurement. Vandalism removes enforcement in targeted areas and creates direct safety risks. Redflex states that vandalism is factored into its business planning and that incidents have been ongoing since installations began in 2020.
It could make the next contract more expensive," she told CBC Toronto. "This contract has its requirements. The vendor is complying, but that contract will have an end and we'll have to tenure it again. So by that time, hopefully we will have found a way to get this under control.
When you take down a speed camera, what you're doing is basically putting people's lives in jeopardy, who are subject to speeders in that area," he said.
