Concerns Raised About Toll Bridge Safety and Surveillance Camera Data Usage

Council member Sarah Brooke raised two public safety issues. The first concerns the toll bridge, where concrete slabs are separating and crumbling side rails pose a hazard. Temporary fixes like black tar have sunk, and the issue has worsened over years. Funding through TID money is suggested. The second issue revisits the use of 'flat cameras' (likely referring to license plate readers or surveillance cameras), noting that while community members trust local police, concerns exist about federal access to data and potential targeting based on race, citing an instance during the winter with a heavy ICE presence.
