Greenwich officials have announced plans to hold a public presentation on April 20 to address ongoing questions and feedback about the town's new school zone speed camera enforcement program. First Selectman Fred Camillo said the presentation will involve the Board of Selectmen, Department of Public Works, and Greenwich Police, and will allow time for questions from residents.

Why it matters

The speed camera program, implemented last fall, has generated significant public interest and debate in Greenwich. While some residents support the safety objectives, others have raised concerns about the program's implementation and the 10-day window to appeal fines. The upcoming presentation aims to provide more transparency and address the community's top concerns.

The details

Greenwich's speed camera enforcement program began with a one-month warning period before issuing $50 fines, plus service fees, for the first violation and $75 fines for the second. Camillo noted that state law prevents the town from posting the hours of camera operation. Selectwoman Rachel Khanna, who voted in favor of the enabling legislation as a state legislator, cited statistics showing a rise in pedestrian and cyclist fatalities in Connecticut, with speeding as a leading factor. Selectwoman Lauren Rabin said speeding is the top concern among residents, and the town is considering education, changes, or even pausing the program.

  • The speed camera program was implemented in Greenwich in the fall of 2025.
  • The public presentation on the speed camera program is tentatively scheduled for April 20, 2026.
