Everett considers red light cameras, mostly south of 41st
EVERETT — Blasting through a red light could cost drivers in Everett next year, even if there isn’t a cop around to see it.
In a 5-1 vote Wednesday, the Everett City Council approved staff to write a request for proposals from companies to supply red-light cameras and other equipment at six intersections and near one school.
Each intersection is in the top 13 for crash frequency in Everett, staff said in a presentation earlier this year.
Councilmember Liz Vogelivoted against the motion and opposes the city using the cameras. Instead, the city could make its roads and sidewalks safer for people through design, she said.
