What we
heard…
14 ~100 Questions/
comments from the
webinar alone
What is the purpose of these readers?
Where have the cameras been installed? Where will they be? How much do the devices cost?
Have there been any “success stories”?
How will you prevent the data from getting into the wrong hands? Will this automatically enforce traffic violations?
Can we get them installed in our neighborhood?

When we engage today, we build trust.
We learn how to innovate together.
We serve all residents better.
