What Winnipeggers' are Saying

Credibility and Accountability should be the government's highest priority at every level and in relation to the photo radar issue both are seriously lacking. You have my full support in this matter.

To achieve Credibility and Accountability with any level of government or it's services there needs to be a mandatory and scheduled public forum to address any confirmed facts that question their policies and decisions. This forum requires an independent panel with the authority to enforce any necessary changes based on the findings. The panel should also include a judge with the authority to terminate employment if it is proven anyone was negligent in their responsibility and with tax dollars.

Currently our vote does nothing to challenge or change the system that we are subjected to which leaves all of us with efforts such as yours, through public awareness in the media, to effect even the slightest response let alone any changes. Obviously this approach offers minimal or no Credibility, Accountability or Consequences.

Based on the common and global knowledge for the government's lack of Credibility and Accountability at every level how could any elected official or party disagree with the need for this to happen.

Thank you for a site that makes sense.

I have been outraged at the Cash Cow the city has invented under the guise of "Public Safety"

The red light cameras do nothing to slow down real traffic (only at their designated spot) and everyone knows we speed up right after crossing that intersection.

I don't think speed is a major factor in accidents, only bad driving.

My biggest complain are the commissionaire vans parked in zones which have absolutely no kids or people using, and running their cars for hours at a time while
the rest of us are supposed to globally concerned that idling our own cars for a couple of minutes to warm them up before driving is irresponsible as a global citizen
with a conscience. Where is their conscience. These guys are the biggest waste of time and money I've ever seen. When kids are grabbing cars every hour and driving
around and thru the North End (mainly) or exploring out to buzz joggers, why not re-assign these slugs in their unmarked vans to patrol areas for car thieves etc. etc.

Thanks once again for this site.

I drive 100 km per day in the city. My yearly mileage is 25,000 km. How is it fair to people like myself who make a living driving? I totally agree with all your facts. It's a cash cow! A friend informed me that the Province is hinting to reduce the over speed limit to 4km! Wow! It sure sounds a lot faster in km! This Canadian metric system makes it sound like we all drive like lunatics! Oh your 10km over! That's a big 4mph! What a joke!

Thanks so much for this site and the work you've put in. I thought maybe I'm the only person in Winnipeg who's absolutely pissed at these cameras.

Just from the placement of some of the cameras you can see that "safety" is not what this is all about. They are there to make money (or do they?) If the cameras stopped speeding altogether i'd say they may be beneficial. But take a look how drivers are driving between the camera locations!!
An officer can discern dangerous speeding and bad driving. But to a camera it's black or white.

Furthermore, did the "authorities" come to the tax payer and ask whether they should be used? Not likely, they just DO. I'm all for organized and safe driving, but these cameras are not accomplishing that. Let's scrap them altogether, oh, and I have a marvelous idea. Let's spend more time on making the streets easier and safer by timing lights at intersections. I've personally phoned city signals about this issue numerous times. But nothing gets done! I may as well talk to my cat!

I've driven in many, many cities across North America - Winnipeg is a joke! What a "green" city we are! Keep as many motorists as possible idling at red lights, keep us on the road longer.

Again thanks and let me know how to fight on!

Kenneth
