School-zone speed cameras and Safe Routes to School Fund
Lakewood
Summary
Council's own package would create a dedicated fund fed by school-zone speed-camera fines, with money locked in for crossing guards and safety infrastructure. Cited data showed up to 89% of drivers exceeding school-zone limits. Council members stressed cameras must add to — not replace — existing safety spending.
