The Parkside Drive speed camera has suffered vandalism six times in eight months, recently re-installed after being cut down again. It was first vandalized in November after a street redesign approval. Faraz Gholizadeh from Safe Parkside criticized the camera's ineffectiveness in addressing speeding issues. He noted that the camera is the busiest in the city, having issued over 68,000 tickets and generated over $7 million in fines since its installation in 2022. City officials are seeking solutions to protect the camera from further vandalism as concerns about safety persist on Parkside Drive.
"A speed camera that has recently spent more time on its side or in a pond than it has upright and functioning has clearly fallen well short of addressing the dangerous speeding on Parkside Drive."
"The lack of meaningful safety measures remains a big concern on Parkside Drive."
"Parkside continues to experience very high numbers of speeding and reckless/careless driving."
"The speed camera has issued over 68,000 speeding tickets and generated over $7 million in fines to date."
