The Village Board of Arlington Heights Monday June 7, 2010 unanimously passed a resolution requesting that Cook County not install red light photo enforced cameras at intersections in Arlington Heights because it “violates the spirit of home rule and imposes on the village’s right to regulate traffic within its corporate boundaries.”
An ordinance that specifically prohibits the installation of red light cameras with out the consent of the Village of Arlington Heights is also planned. Schaumburg has a similar ordinance written that is expected to be passed tonight. Jack Siegel is the village attorney for Arlington Heights and Schaumburg that is involved in legal counsel regarding writing the ordinance.
On June 3, 2010 the Cook County Board voted Tuesday to install Red Light Cameras at intersections in several Cook County suburbs. The cameras will be installed in the next 30 to 60 days.
