Has there been an update to this article, which is 3 years old?

Funny how 5th and Carpenter is listed as Pennsport, when it is really Queen Village (but without the parking hassles).

I wouldn't be surprised if that corner would not make such a list, as there has been new development on Carpenter and cameras (are they on yet?) added at that corner.

Yes, according to the Queen Village Crier:

Security cameras at the following locations in QV have
been verified as now active:
3rd and Christian Streets
4th and Washington Avenue
5th and Christian Streets
965 South 5th Street
3rd and South Streets
Police will monitor activity at these and other area
locations via these cameras which become another long
established, effective weapon to help police to reduce crime.
