Way back in old-army days we told you about the new cameras that had suddenly popped up on traffic signals around the neighborhood. Months went by as we anxiously awaited them to be activated for our traffic-monitoring pleasure.

And now, behold!

23rd & Jackson (north):

23rd & Jackson (west):

23rd & Cherry (north):

23rd & Cherry (west):

I’m sure our neighborhood bug-bashers can point out a few of the early issues, such as labeling “23rd Ave E” for “23rd Ave (plain).” And I would put in a request for a larger image size to make remote newsgathering a bit easier. But so far, so good.
