The 6th and Main intersection has been running on a fixed timer since its detection capability failed in April — the new system can detect vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians in real time if enabled
The Stillwater City Council voted 5-0 Monday to approve $50,000 for two NoTraffic video detection camera systems at Duck Street and Hall of Fame Avenue and at Main Street and 6th Avenue — the city's third and fourth NoTraffic installations.
Councilor Tim Hardin pulled the item from the consent docket for discussion. His first question was whether the cameras perform facial recognition or read license plates. Public Works Director Mark White told the council they do not. "They're simply for detection, and they don't store data or anything," White said.
