City administration said these cameras need to be leased from an approved vendor, which will cost around $1.3 million each year.

Staff expect fines levied under the program will cover its operating costs.

That works out to ~$712 in fines per day per camera. That seems a ridiculous expectation and lease cost tbh.

Based on the fine rates from GTA - each camera needs to catch 6 people a day to break even (about $120 a ticket).

At first it’ll be a great source of revenue but people will learn and slow down - then the ROI will be questionable…

Does that include that fines are doubled in community safety zones (the areas these cameras will target)?

Yes as ours are around schools.
