The City Council agreed in consensus at Tuesday’s workshop to add at least nine new red light cameras to Palm Coast intersections.

No formal vote was taken, but the City Council will vote on the item at its Tuesday, Aug. 7, regular meeting.

By then, there could be even more cameras proposed, according to City Manager Jim Landon.

Currently, there are 10 red light cameras monitoring six Palm Coast intersections. Earlier this month, the City Council approved a contract extension with American Traffic Solutions to enforce the red light cameras. The city has final say on new camera locations. City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo, who is against red light cameras, was the lone vote against the contract extension.

According to city officials, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and the Palm Coast Fire Department had input on what intersections should have cameras. That was included in the intersections that have been selected, Landon said.

The nine new camera locations are as follows:

State Road 100 and Interstate 95 southbound off-ramp (camera facing eastbound)
State Road 100 and Interstate 95 northbound off-ramp (camera facing westbound)
Belle Terre Parkway and Cypress Point Parkway (camera facing northbound)
Belle Terre Parkway and State Road 100 (camera facing southbound)
State Road 100 and Memorial Medical Parkway (camera facing eastbound)
