FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE More than four years after the City of Springfield discontinued its red-light camera program as a result of a Missouri Supreme Court ruling, and at Councilman Doug Burlison’s suggestion, vendor American Traffic Solutions, via Ewing Signal Construction, will remove the outdated and unusable equipment at 11 Springfield intersections. Removal is scheduled for mid- to late-September and should take no longer than one business week. Ewing Signal Construction will remove the cameras, lasers, poles and pole bases, leaving the meters, cabinets, pull boxes and conduits, which have value if reused for traffic signal purposes. Intersections where the equipment will be removed are:
- Kansas Expressway at Kearney Street
