The story about the ASE grants for Lincoln Drive from speed cameras reminds me of the same problems associated with the ARLE grants from red-light cameras. Traffic calming is seldom a good idea, as you need to use best-practice engineering, not simply create a burdensome road to travel, which can cause crashes, divert cars, and delay people. Also, whenever grants come from cameras, it is bad, since automated enforcement of all types in Pennsylvania has seen many problems. Doing a proper traffic study would be much more effective.
