Automated traffic speed cameras get the green light in Mukilteo
MUKILTEO — The city might need to change the name of Mukilteo Speedway to Mukilteo Speedtrap.
The Mukilteo City Council this week approved an ordinance to install automated traffic cameras at three sites near schools and parks on the main drag through town.
The cameras will be on Mukilteo Speedway near Fourth Street, Olympic View Middle School and 92nd Street Park. The cameras will operate at certain times, not continuously.
“Our goal is to lower speeds and make school and park zones safer for kids and runners and pedestrians,” Mukilteo Police Chief Andy Illyn said. “I am optimistic that within six months we can have the program up and running.”
