Peter Bronson, a columnist for the Cincinnati Enquirer, is seeing red: red-light cameras, that is. The Cincinnati city council wants to install red-light cameras, even though the Virginia Department of Transportation found that such cameras lead to a 29-percent increase in accidents. The Cincinnati council, Bronson suggests, may be more motivated by ticket revenues than safety.
Even worse, Bronson goes on to say, is a city proposal to spend $100 million building a four-mile streetcar line. Bronson then quotes the Antiplanner at an embarrassing length, even including a sidebar of quotes about the effects of streetcars on taxes and other issues.
