In a recent special meeting of the Lawrenceburg City Council, discussions centered around community safety and traffic concerns, highlighted by a public comment from local resident Carlo Cannell. Cannell addressed the council regarding alarming traffic issues in his neighborhood, specifically at the intersection of William and Chanticleer. He presented data from a Blink camera he installed, which recorded 373 instances of vehicles failing to stop at the intersection, including a police car among the violators.

Cannell emphasized the risks posed to vulnerable community members, including children and the elderly, who frequent the area. He expressed urgency in addressing these safety concerns, noting that the current situation could lead to serious accidents, particularly as children rush to school.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming regular session scheduled for 6:30 PM, where further discussions and community input are expected. The council members were present and engaged, indicating a commitment to addressing the issues raised by Cannell and other constituents.
