During a recent government meeting, local resident Andy Lupo raised concerns about traffic safety at the intersection of Clarksville and Route 571. Lupo reported witnessing multiple instances of vehicles running red lights, despite the presence of a traffic signal designed to stop all traffic. He noted that he had previously reported these incidents to the police, who acknowledged the issue but indicated that enforcement would be prioritized once the school year commenced.

Lupo expressed frustration over the lack of consistent police presence during peak commuting hours, particularly in the mornings around 6:30 AM. He recounted a troubling incident where three cars ran a red light in quick succession, emphasizing that this behavior could not simply be attributed to drivers attempting to beat the light. He urged the council to adopt a more proactive stance on this issue, highlighting the potential dangers posed by such traffic violations.

In his remarks, Lupo suggested that the council engage with state officials to explore the reintroduction of traffic and red light cameras as a means to enhance enforcement and improve safety at the intersection. His call to action reflects growing community concerns regarding traffic management and public safety in the area.
