Council passes resolution supporting Milwaukee’s red‑light camera pilot, stressing it would be Milwaukee‑only
West Allis aldermen approved a resolution expressing support for the City of Milwaukee’s proposed pilot program to test red‑light camera enforcement under a prospective state pilot program. Speakers emphasized the resolution is a statement of support for Milwaukee’s pilot only and does not authorize or commit West Allis to implement similar cameras.

A council member described Milwaukee’s pilot as limited to that city and said state law currently prohibits red‑light cameras. The speaker said Milwaukee’s plan differs from earlier implementations in other states because the city plans to pay a flat fee to a vendor rather than compensate a vendor based on the number of citations issued. The speaker said the city will use data‑driven methods to locate cameras and distribute cameras across districts to promote equity.

Alderman Haas moved approval and Alderman Keltner seconded; the resolution passed on a voice vote. Supporters said the resolution is intended to monitor Milwaukee’s pilot and gather lessons learned before any further local discussion; they reiterated that approval does not authorize local purchase or deployment of cameras in West Allis.
