Jim Thorpe has two cameras set up watching the cars that enter or leave Flagstaff Rd via Lentz Trail.
Over the last weekend in July I popped open my DeFlock app and noticed two new cameras in Carbon County. Jim Thorpe is now home to two Flock Safety cameras. I have yet to physically survey them, but based on public maps data they are both placed at the intersection of Lentz Trail and Flagstaff Road. These roads, especially this side of Flagstaff, seems pretty quiet and there doesn't seem to be any major private parties that could have installed these cameras, it seems like city property.
Why would there need to be cameras here?
