Af
ter the agenda packet was published, representatives from the City and Conduent State & Local Solutions Inc. had additional discussions regarding the $2.4 M cap on liability that is in Section 12.3 of the proposed agreement, and Conduent representatives agreed to delete the cap. If Council authorizes execution of the agreement, the agreement will be revised prior to execution to delete Section 12.3, so that there will be no cap on Conduent’s liability under the agreement. All other provisions of the proposed agreement would remain the same.

Subject: California Today: Several cities could soon have cameras that issue speeding tickets
With automatic traffic enforcement on this evening’s agenda, today’s NYT article is timely.

What we about this proposal is the minimalist ($50) fine structure. We don’t have a lot of the same equity issues that other cities face, but we do see opportunities for traffic calming infrastructure.

Privacy issues will be controversial, but everyone has a camera now - whether it’s in your hand, at your front door, or on your dashboard. Here’s a SF news clip with video from the hit and run on First and Main:
https://www.ktvu.com/video/1249589
For tonight’s discussion, we will refer to our statement from May 2022:

If red light enforcement cameras are employed
as a tool in a
comprehensive City-wide traffic calming plan to deter speeding in Napa, we’re in favor.

This technology won’t directly answer Slow Down Napa’s concerns about speeding in residential neighborhoods, but combined with the recent action to lower speed limits on city streets, we’re headed in the right direction to focus attention on a long ignored speeding problem. We can do better to make our streets calmer and safer.

California Today
August 15, 2023
By Soumya Karlamangla
California Today, Writer
It’s Tuesday. Six California cities could soon get speed cameras.

Plus, a battle between labor unions and restaurants could transform the fast-food industry.

ATTACHMENT 1
Interstate 5 in Los Angeles last month. Mike Blake/Reuters Let’s begin with something everyone seems to agree upon: Far too many pedestrians are dying on California’s streets.

Pedestrian deaths have been rising nationwide over the last decade, and last year they reached their highest level in 41 years. In California, an estimated 1,100 pedestrians were killed in 2022, making the fatality rate in the state 25 percent higher than the national average.

But what can be done about it?
Some traffic safety advocates are banking on a bill that’s moving through the California Legislature. It would make California the 19th state to install cameras that would automatically issue tickets to the

ATTACHMENT 1
owners of vehicles that are spotted exceeding the speed limit by at least 11 miles an hour. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, speeding is a factor in one-third of traffic fatalities nationwide.
“It’s not going to solve everything, but we need all the tools we can get,” said Damian Kevitt, the executive director of Streets Are For Everyone, a traffic safety nonprofit based in Los Angeles that supports the bill. “It’s quite truthfully, at this point, a public health crisis.”
The bill, A.B. 645,
would create a five-year pilot program that would
place cameras in six cities — Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach and San Francisco — on streets that are hot spots for street racing, or are in school zones, or have a high number of collisions.

At the outset, vehicle owners would get a warning the first time their vehicles were caught speeding by the cameras. After that, fines would start at $50. The fines could be reduced if the vehicle owner is unable to pay.
“The ticket is nominal, and there’s no points on your license,” said Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, who co-wrote the bill. “We’re out to change behavior. We’re not out to be punitive.”
The bill, which has passed the Assembly and is now before the Senate, has a long list of supporters, including Mayor London Breed of San Francisco and other local leaders from across the state, several bicycle and pedestrian advocacy groups, and the ride-hailing companies Lyft and Cruise. But there are also plenty of detractors, including the advocacy groups Oakland Privacy, Black Lives Matter California and A.C.L.U. California Action.

Becca Cramer-Mowder, a legislative advocate for A.C.L.U. California Action, told me that the organization was worried about any program that increased surveillance within communities. The bill has some safeguards, including allowing only license plates to be

photographed (instead of, say, faces), and requiring that images be deleted after a certain amount of time, but Cramer-Mowder believes those measures aren’t foolproof.
“The only way to fully protect against the privacy issues is to not collect the data in the first place,” she told me. “What we’ve seen in other contexts is that despite these strict limits, surveillance footage and information is still inappropriately shared.”
Cramer-Mowder and others who oppose the bill support other ways of encouraging drivers to slow down, including by adding speed bumps and traffic circles to streets.

Such features are uncommon in poorer communities of color, where some roads essentially become speed traps. If cameras are added to those streets, opponents say, even more tickets will be issued to Black and Latino drivers.

Tracy Rosenberg, the advocacy director for Oakland Privacy, told The San Francisco Chronicle that there was a long history of speeding enforcement programs “disproportionately impacting lower-income communities of color.”
“And that is largely because of a long, long history of traffic infrastructure that has brought certain traffic-calming features and amenities to more affluent neighborhoods, and not so much to less affluent neighborhoods,” Rosenberg said.

Friedman told me that she, too, supported more traffic-calming measures, but cited an analysis saying it would take Los Angeles more than 100 years to upgrade all its high-risk roadways. The cameras are an additional means of trying to reduce traffic collisions, she said.

Friedman added that many people from communities of color supported the bill. “Let’s not forget the people who are most likely to be killed and maimed by traffic violence are low-income communities of color,” she said.

Today’s tip comes from Stephanie Reed, who lives in Santa Rosa.

Stephanie recommends visiting the oceanside city of Ventura:
“Ventura is fabulous. If you like thrift store shopping, the main street is loaded with excellent thrift stores. If you like walking on beaches, Ventura’s got a wonderful, long walking beach. It’s between Santa Barbara and
L.A. but less expensive than both. The Clocktower Inn
is a very affordable place to stay, has a lovely atrium for sitting and drinking your morning coffee, was once
upon a time a fire lookout tower and is within walking
distance of all that’s wonderful about Ventura.”

“For us, it’s always been about kindness first, coffee second,” said Hazel Villareal, La La Land’s lead creative designer. Clint Datchuk for The New York Times And before you go, some good news
You might not have heard of the coffee shop chain La La Land, which has three locations in California and eight in Texas. But maybe you’ve come across its TikTok videos.

The company has built a following of 6.6 million on the social media app by recording videos of their employees delivering random compliments to strangers. They tell people that their hair looks good, that they like their shirt or that they’re beautiful — and, perhaps surprisingly, the strangers usually seem thrilled.

Jeremiah Sabado, the company’s content creator, told The New York

ATTACHMENT 1
Times that he believed La La Land could create a ripple effect with far-reaching consequences. “It’s important for people to know they are loved,” he said.

Francois Reihani, La La Land’s founder and chief executive, noted that karma was a big part of the company’s ethos: “When you do the right thing, magic happens.”

Subject: California Today: Several cities could soon have cameras that issue speeding tickets
With automatic traffic enforcement on this evening’s agenda, today’s NYT article is timely.

What we about this proposal is the minimalist ($50) fine structure. We don’t have a lot of the same equity issues that other cities face, but we do see opportunities for traffic calming infrastructure.

Privacy issues will be controversial, but everyone has a camera now - whether it’s in your hand, at your front door, or on your dashboard. Here’s a SF news clip with video from the hit and run on First and Main:
https://www.ktvu.com/video/1249589
For tonight’s discussion, we will refer to our statement from May 2022:

If red light enforcement cameras are employed
as a tool in a
comprehensive City-wide traffic calming plan to deter speeding in Napa, we’re in favor.

This technology won’t directly answer Slow Down Napa’s concerns about speeding in residential neighborhoods, but combined with the recent action to lower speed limits on city streets, we’re headed in the right direction to focus attention on a long ignored speeding problem. We can do better to make our streets calmer and safer.

California Today, Writer
It’s Tuesday. Six California cities could soon get speed cameras.

Plus, a battle between labor unions and restaurants could transform the fast-food industry.

ATTACHMENT 1
Interstate 5 in Los Angeles last month. Mike Blake/Reuters Let’s begin with something everyone seems to agree upon: Far too many pedestrians are dying on California’s streets.

Pedestrian deaths have been rising nationwide over the last decade, and last year they reached their highest level in 41 years. In California, an estimated 1,100 pedestrians were killed in 2022, making the fatality rate in the state 25 percent higher than the national average.

But what can be done about it?
Some traffic safety advocates are banking on a bill that’s moving through the California Legislature. It would make California the 19th state to install cameras that would automatically issue tickets to the

ATTACHMENT 1
owners of vehicles that are spotted exceeding the speed limit by at least 11 miles an hour. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, speeding is a factor in one-third of traffic fatalities nationwide.
“It’s not going to solve everything, but we need all the tools we can get,” said Damian Kevitt, the executive director of Streets Are For Everyone, a traffic safety nonprofit based in Los Angeles that supports the bill. “It’s quite truthfully, at this point, a public health crisis.”
The bill, A.B. 645,
would create a five-year pilot program that would
place cameras in six cities — Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach and San Francisco — on streets that are hot spots for street racing, or are in school zones, or have a high number of collisions.

At the outset, vehicle owners would get a warning the first time their vehicles were caught speeding by the cameras. After that, fines would start at $50. The fines could be reduced if the vehicle owner is unable to pay.
“The ticket is nominal, and there’s no points on your license,” said Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, who co-wrote the bill. “We’re out to change behavior. We’re not out to be punitive.”
The bill, which has passed the Assembly and is now before the Senate, has a long list of supporters, including Mayor London Breed of San Francisco and other local leaders from across the state, several bicycle and pedestrian advocacy groups, and the ride-hailing companies Lyft and Cruise.
