COLUMBIA — The city hopes to have red-light cameras installed at two intersections by the end of the week, though negotiations with the Missouri Department of Transportation have slowed the process.
The intersections of Stadium Boulevard and Worley Street and Broadway and Providence Road are both maintained by MoDOT. The city needs permission from MoDOT to make any changes to the intersections.
City spokeswoman Toni Messina said city officials were keeping in contact with Gatso USA, the company providing and operating the camera systems. Messina said she was hopeful that an agreement could be reached so Gatso USA could have the cameras installed on time.
