Stepped up patrols in Binghamton ahead of summer
On Tuesday, Mayor Jared Kraham announced that the Binghamton Police Department is increasing traffic patrols in order to reduce speeding and violations.
Kraham released the following statement:
'I've heard from a growing number of residents concerned about drivers going too fast through their neighborhoods or running stop signs, putting others at risk. Binghamton Police will be cracking down on speeding and other traffic violations over the coming weeks, with extra patrols focused on reducing the number of drivers who break the law and make our neighborhoods less safe. Alongside foot and bike patrols and other community policing initiatives, this increased traffic enforcement is part of our broader effort to improve neighborhood safety across Binghamton.'
During the initiative, Binghamton Police will focus on high traffic areas, giving special attention to school zones, City park zones, and hospital zones.
Officers will also use a portable speed trailer, which displays drivers' speed as they pass, to help reduce speeding.
To report traffic concerns or for questions, contact the Binghamton Traffic Division at (607) 772-7095 or the Mayor's Office at (607) 772-7001.

Trump, Carney to speak in coming days, Canadian official says
President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will likely talk 'over the next number of days' after the US imposed a 35% tariff on goods not covered by the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, a Canadian official said on Sunday. Dominic LeBlanc, the federal cabinet minister in charge of US-Canada trade, also told CBS News' 'Face the Nation' that he was 'encouraged' by recent discussions and believed a deal to bring down tariffs remained an option. 'We're encouraged by the conversations with Secretary Lutnick and Ambassador Greer, but we're not yet where we need to go to get the deal that's in the best interest of the two economies,' LeBlanc said, referring to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

'We think there is an option of striking a deal that will bring down some of these tariffs provide greater certainty to investment,' LeBlanc said. Washington linked Friday's tariff announcement in part to what it said was Canada's failure to stop fentanyl smuggling. It was the latest blow in a months-long tariff war which Trump initiated shortly after returning to power this year. Carney says Canada accounts for just 1% of US fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce the volumes.
