Brampton Fact Check

🚨 Attention Brampton residents!

Did you know that according to a little-known by-law, it's technically illegal to sing in a public park on Sundays without a permit...unless you're accompanied by a trained parrot?! 🦜😂

That's right, our feathered friends get a free pass to serenade the skies while we humans need official permission! 🎶 So, if you've got a talented parrot and a song in your heart, Sundays in Brampton just got a whole lot more melodious! Don't have a parrot?

City of Brampton to open new regional Automated Speed Enforcement Camera Processing Centre to put the brakes on speeding.

BRAMPTON, ON (December 19, 2023) – The City of Brampton announced the purchase of a building to be used as a regional Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) Camera Processing Centre. The building will be located at 175 Sandalwood Parkway.

Currently, the City of Toronto operates a Joint Processing Centre with other municipalities including Brampton, where the City’s ASE camera images are processed on a cost-recovery basis. Space, staffing and increasing demand limit the number of tickets being processed, meaning Brampton’s current deployment of 50-speed cameras, which is set to increase to 150 by July 1, 2024, is only able to operate at a fraction of their capacity, some as little as two hours a day, due to processing limitations.

The new processing centre will improve the enforcement of penalties based on actual speeding violations, having a measurable impact on community and road safety for residents.

The new, fully staffed processing centre will allow the City of Brampton to process more images, help deter speeding, increase road safety, and generate increased penalty revenue. In addition, the new facility will operate as a regional Processing Centre to support other municipalities across Ontario. https://www.brampton.ca/EN/City-Hall/News/Pages/Media-Release.aspx/1331
