"The Parkside Drive speed camera has once again been cut down by vandals the seventh time in 10 months. The speed camera was first cut down in November last year after the city approved a complete street redesign of Parkside Drive. "Residents woke up this morning to discover the speed camera had been felled once again, leaving this dangerous street with little in the form of safety," said Faraz Gholizadeh, co-chair of the community group Safe Parkside, in a statement Sunday."
"Toronto police said they received a report of vandalism to the speed camera on Sunday morning, and suspect that it occurred overnight. They say it's a mischief investigation. The speed camera was installed in 2022 after a speeding motorist killed an elderly couple in a five-vehicle crash. It's since become one of the most frequent targets for vandals. It was last cut down in July, one week after a security camera was installed next to it."
