Charlotte City Council · City Council Business Meeting on 2026-06-08 5:00 PM - Jun 08, 2026 · 8 Jun 2026 meeting

And so the opportunity to get something before the state is that window is very tight.

And so the earliest opportunity I think we could have the delegation work on something would be later this year when they go back into session.

And so it could be.

more than a year before we actually get to that interlocal agreement if the state legislature agrees with that approach.

One of the biggest changes has been the willingness to spend city funds to fund a program to reduce

serious injury and fatal collisions.

In the past, when we had a red light camera program, there was no capital program for Vision Zero.

The funding wasn't there and it would have required general fund dollars to run the program.

Thanks to you all and the voters approving bond packages where we have Vision Zero funds, I think what's changed is the calculus on

relatively small investment I know $150,000 isn't relatively small but from a road construction and building things it is a lower amount and so to have that vision zero funding that's available that we can stand up a program that can potentially reduce or eliminate fatal and serious injury collisions that's really what's changed and favorable court rulings allowing

cities to partner with the school boards to basically turn the program into a net neutral for everybody involved.

Those rulings came out in, I believe, 2022, 2023 timeframe.

So there's been kind of a growing shift in the way we view safety and then, of course, the favorable court rulings.

Um, so of course we'll have signs posted at the intersections.

Uh, we'll of course use our social media presence, uh, will rely heavily on our media partners.

So this would be one of those campaigns where there's a push to notify motorists throughout the city, hey, this program's coming.

I know in the past when we stood up our speed camera program, there was a two- to three-week grace period where citations were mailed at no charge just to let people know, hey, this is here.

In two weeks, you're going to have to pay if you continue this behavior.

So there's...

There's different ways to get that message out, but we will definitely use, you know, city corporate communications and other partners to get that message to the public.
