The May 8 meeting of the Murfreesboro City Council is canceled.
Murfreesboro is installing and will operate a new set of red light traffic cameras at seven of the city's most traveled, and statistically dangerous, street intersections. Barring bad weather and other contractor-related considerations, the project will be implemented in two phases. Current plans call for cameras in the first three intersections to be operational by June 1, 2008. Following a 30-day grace period to allow drivers to become familiar with the new system, payable citations will be mailed out starting July 1. Here is more information on this system of cameras that has been documented elsewhere to improve safety through use of technology.

NOTICE: Though many types of advertising will continue to be published in the Daily News Journal, other legal notices for the City of Murfreesboro are being switched to a more competitive rate offered by the Murfreesboro Post, a relatively new weekly newspaper here that publishes a hard copy on Sundays and maintains a world wide web presence during the week. Lower advertising rates mean substantial cost savings for taxpayers by helping contain the city's ever-rising advertising budget. |
