That’s the fourth tree someone has run over due to speeding around that corner. There are rather large car parts on the grass by the sidewalk. You can see how they ran over the tree, went up on the sidewalk, lost car parts, swerved back onto the road, and kept going. You can see scratches on the sidewalk.

This is right in my neighborhood, and I just went over there and didn't see anything. Any more specifics on location? The speeding on Barber Cutoff is really getting out of hand, and I have been very vocal on SCF about it, making specific suggestions. Same old, same old County response....we'll study it, refer it somewhere, ..........basically put on ignore. Sad it's going to take a pedestrian getting killed along here before the issue gets any attention. Watch for this issue to be closed very soon. Like all the others, with nothing done.

It’s on West Kingston by the medical buildings. The speeding I’m talking about is people coming from town on West Kingston and speeding around that curve by Barber Cutoff. This is the fourth tree in that median someone has run right over.

Thank you for that clarification Patrick. Yes, speeding there is very bad as well. Seems there is very little in the way of enforcement being done.

I call the Kitsap County Sheriff this morning and reported the hit and run on West Kingston. I took pictures of the damaged tree, landscaping and sidewalk along with the detached portion of bumper and quarter panel. Bob Gelder has been contacted more than once about the speeding on West Kingston and Barber Cutoff.I agree that pedestrians are at risk with these irresponsible drivers.

Just took my dog for a walk and in the way back someone had taken the bumper and a couple pieces of a light. The quarter panel is still there

It didn't take but a couple of minutes "detective" time to get this information. The attached photo of an auto part id tag was found next to the wreckage. A quick online search finds this part as belonging to a Ford 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X with the Eddie Bauer, SEL, Limited, trim package. Silver/Gray in color. I looked at stock pics, and sure enough, they matched the part still there. Do we have no resources to check this out? We spend multi-millions on feel good projects, how about a lot more for law enforcement?

BTW CLF, the tree IS partially in the roadway, and partially blocks the sidewalk. This would be an ADA concern. I observed several bicycles having to maneuver around it in the street.

Thank you for your diligence and agree with your comments.

I would be happy to screen shot and send to KCSD. I notified them earlier this morning.
