@JustMe-But that's not what they're suggesting. Yes it is!. The first comment, by Bossi says Leeping (sic) fines issued by a camera dedicated specifically toward designing-away the issue that prompts that camera in the first place, with a public-good goal of earning zero revenue off each camera. Speeding problem? Redesign the road to a lower speed. Red-light running? Fund signal timing & coordination evaluations or perhaps conversions to other forms of intersection control. This may help people see a more tangible benefit from cameras as well as help move toward the stated public goals. He meant "Keeping fines..." and I agreed with him and Kyle-w seemed to say something similar: It should all, 100%, stay with DDot. Whether this goes to Streetcars, streetscape projects, etc etc. I personally think this is where all the monies should go..redesign the road to reflect the context.

I don't believe that's an accurate reflection for how people felt about autos.

I do @Hogwash. I think that's why large swaths of cities were torn out, often against the will of the folks that lived there in order to put in highways dedicated to the movement of autos. Are you saying that there hasn't been a steady enlargement of the space for motor vehicles at the expense of pedestrians? All the literature I've read seems to state otherwise.
