An order asked the chief of police, director of parking and director of mobility to address repeated red‑light running during weekday rush hours and driver misuse of Broadway bus lanes near Temple Street.

Director Austin (mobility staff) told the committee parking, mobility and SPD coordinate on enforcement and that staff can conduct a video study to quantify the frequency and types of violations at the location. Austin noted the city has begun investing in compliance studies to identify where enforcement resources are most effective and that SPD enforcement data are published on the city’s open‑data portal.

Staff also discussed the policy context: recent state‑level discussions and proposed budget language could permit new automated enforcement tools, including MBTA bus‑mounted cameras to record bus‑lane violations (already allowed by recent action) and potential future red‑light or speed camera authorizations. The director said the city is preparing to engage with new state statutes and would evaluate automated enforcement options, acknowledging civil‑liberty, privacy and equity considerations.

Councilors and staff agreed to further study and to a possible video‑based evidence collection; they did not implement new enforcement actions at the meeting beyond ongoing SPD activity and data reporting.
