The borough will apply for a spot in the state's Red Light Running Automated Enforcement Program.
The borough will apply to have a traffic safety camera installed at the intersection of Fair Lawn Avenue and Saddle River Road through the New Jersey Department of Transportation's Red Light Running (RLR) Automated Enforcement Program.

The county supplies the funds and the borough provides the engineering needed to design and implement the improvements -- most of which has already been done. "Where we were very fortunate was, 90 percent of the engineering work had already been completed," said borough manager Tom Metzler, who compared the grant to a smaller roadway improvement grant the borough recently accepted for pedestrian safety …
