The Deets
Okay, listen up, fam. This is getting wild. That speed camera on Parkside Dr. that's been raking in the dough for the city? Yeah, someone keeps yeeting it. Like, cutting it down, dragging it through High Park, and straight-up DUMPING it in a pond back in December '24. Now it's gone, again!
For context, that camera was put there after an elderly couple got clapped back in '21. The area's been labeled a "Community Safety Zone" and they even tried to low-key the speed limit from 50 to 40 km/h. But Safe Parkside is saying the cameras ain't doing enough, and the drivers are still driving way too fast.
This camera has been a cash cow for Toronto, racking up around $7 million in tickets. One person even got caught zooming at 154 km/h! 154! That's actually insane.
The city's big mad about the vandalism, calling it a threat to road safety. Apparently, the cameras are supplied by a vendor and it isn't even their property. Toronto Police are on the case, trying to catch whoever's pulling these stunts. If they get caught, they could be facing charges for mischief. And if you got any tea to spill, hit up 11 Division.
The streets are saying that speeding's still a major problem there, even with the camera. So, is it doing anything or just a money grab? 🤔
