Champaign City Council won't consider cell phone driving ban
CHAMPAIGN – A proposal to ban cell phone use while driving doesn't appear to have any support on the city council.
Champaign Mayor Jerry Schweighart said this week that he circulated a study session request form at Tuesday's council meeting calling for consideration of a cell phone ban, but he didn't receive any signatures. Five of the nine members must sign a study session request form for an item to be taken up by the council.
