North Hills opposes red light cameras

ANTIQUE TRADE

Mayor, board say potential additions will not help traffic flow near LIE BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I North Hills oďŹƒcials expressed opposition last Wednesday to a county plan to install red-light cameras at an intersection in the village, saying they were intended to raise county revenues and would not make the roadway safer. “The county is doing this as a revenue source, and that’s the only reason,â€? Mayor Marvin Natiss said of the cameras. “It’s not going to help the traďŹƒc patterns; it’s not going to help the traďŹƒc ow. It’s going to bring in moneyâ€? for Nassau County. Natiss reported at a Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday that Greenman Pederson, an engineering ďŹ rm in Babylon contracted by the county to design red-light cameras, had contacted the village asking if permits would be required to install two red-light cameras at the Shelter Rock Road and North Service Road intersection: one north-

bound on Shelter Rock Road and one westbound on North Service Road. Natiss said the intersection is a hot spot, with an average of ďŹ ve wrecks per month according to Nassau County police reports issued monthly. Natiss, however, along with Trustees Phyllis Lentini, Dennis Sgambati and Gail Cohen, said they do not believe the lights are in the best interest of residents. “One of my complaints about these red-light cameras, I really believe they’re rigged,â€? Natiss said. “I honestly and personally believe they’re rigged.â€? Natiss said he has received one ticket from a red-light camera in Manhasset, and Cohen said she has received three on New Hyde Park Road. “I’ve sat there and I’ve counted to 10, and I’ve had three tickets now,â€? Cohen said. “I’m done. I won’t turn anymore.â€? Continued on Page 77
