stouflville suntribunem saturday november 25 2006 7 photo radar for york hits snag by caroline grech staff writer a plan by regional coun cillors to thwart speeders by bringing back photo radar has hit a roadblock ontario premier dalton mcguinty has said he will not consider bringing photo radar back despite recent requests from the ontario road builders association and york region council as one of their last acts before the municipal elec tion york councillors asked the province to reinstate photo radar to help battle speeding on residential streets the ontario road builders association made the request more recently asking for photo radar to slow down motorists in con struction zones provincial rejection mr mcguinty was not available for an interview however during a media scrum at queens park last week he told reporters we looked at it in our first year and we rejected it so its not part of our plan thats a choice weve made with respect to construc tion zones the premier said fines have been doubled for speeders caught in those areas however critics have called that plan ineffective we made a decision and were sticking with it mr mcguinty added richmond hill mayor- elect dave barrow a photo radar supporter believes res idents would favour it i believe theyve mis judged the people if they think this is not popular peo ple are anxious to have a mechanism to control speeding mr barrow said the premier has chosen not to listen to the people and im disappointed new market mayorelect tony van bynen said adding it goes against mr mcguintys 2004 statement saying municipali ties could approach him with requests it simply doesnt make any sense at all not ustend1ng according to a regional report tabled in october of 1800 traffic collisions logged in york region during an average year 1600 are speed related in 2005 98 studies track ing vehicles showed 62 per cent of motorists were speed ing im disappointed that he mr mcguinty would dis miss it that quickly without going to amo association of municipalities of ontario or police boards who are deal ing with the problem mr barrow said the association supports municipalities using photo radar to stop speeders we believe they should be given the authority to do it if they feel the need for it in the community the research is pretty clear that photo radar reduces speed acci dents and saves lives asso ciation president doug rey- craft said while the province will not bring back photo radar the reasons why are sparse with the door firmly slammed shut regional offi cials are left with the tools they were already using such as radar message boards education and stepped- up enforcement the election slated for next october could have something to do with the premiers stance some critics charge its an issue in communi ties for people not to address it could be a serious mistake for any party mr van bynen said no injuries in bus crash no one was injured when a school bus collided with a porsche near bal- lantrae yesteday morning both vehicles were westbound on aurora road when the porsche attempted to pass three vehicles when the school bus made a left turn at kennedy road the vehicles collided there was one student on the bus york regional police is seeking witnesses call const sendall at 186875423 exi 7100 these are just a few of the over 100 tiverretatea illnesses that
