LAKEWOOD, Ohio — City Council is considering two ordinances that would pair school-zone speed cameras with a dedicated school-safety fund.
One proposal would authorize cameras for speed enforcement near schools. The other would create a Safe Routes to School Fund, with fine revenue reserved for safety measures such as crossing guards and street improvements, Cleveland 19 reported.

Cleveland 19 reported November 10 that the measures had been referred to committee. Council President Sarah Kepple said a decision would probably come in the new year.
As of this review, these are proposals. They should not be presented as an active new ticketing program. Questions for the next discussion include camera locations, operating rules, costs and how families would see safety improvements.
