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.
