The City of Toronto says it is in the process of removing all of its speed cameras and it anticipates they will be down by the end of the month.

The city confirmed the timeline to CP24 in an email and said the cameras are no longer capturing violations either.

The move comes after the Ontario government passed a bill banning municipal speed cameras, with Premier Doug Ford calling them a “cash grab.”

The province said no tickets handed out after Nov. 14 would be enforceable, though tickets before then are still valid.

The city said there is no additional cost to taxpayers for removing the cameras as the cost is built into the contract with the vendor.

Critics of the move have said the cameras were a tool to help reduce dangerous speeding and that some of the speed-calming measures the province has promised won’t be installed for months.

Mayor Olivia Chow has said the loss of revenue from eliminating the speed cameras could cost the city around 1,000 jobs.
