ANC6A Supports Permanent Speed-camera on C Street, NE


Full Letter sent to MPD Home Land Security Chief Patrick Burke


Excerpted Body of the Letter (click on image to read larger version)

As the above letter states, since the west-bound C Street, NE mobile speed-camera's inception, December 1, 2007, until June 10, 2009 there have been:

13,246* vehicular speeding citations issued by MPD!

Average per month: 716 citations
Average per day: 23 citations

Note - the MPD mobile speed-camera is only periodically deployed during the week and rarely deployed on the weekends. Additionally, it is deployed only in the west-bound vehicle travel lanes, with no east-bound enforcement for motorist accelerating toward RFK stadium and the Whitney-Young Bridge (East Capitol Street).

A HUGE "thank you" to the ANC6A Public Safety Committee and all the ANC 6A Commissioners, especially SMD6A08 Commissioner Kelvin Robinson and Rebecca Sibilia, for recognizing the importance of resident and student safety along this portion of C Street, NE.
