Description
There are many cars that race up 38th Ave NE after driving up McMurray Rd NE. Just today a man in a Porsche was racing up the street at what appeared to be over 80 mph. There are several small children that live on this street. This has been an ongoing issue on this street for many years, and all the residents on the street are in agreement that there are too many cars driving way too fast down this street.

Thank you, Travis, for submitting this concern. I saw the new request you resubmitted yesterday and combined it with this one. There has been a significant increase in requests regarding speeding, crashes, and impaired/distracted/reckless driving. The City has been working to fill the position that manages Neighborhood Programs, which includes working with community members like you on neighborhood traffic calming concerns. Due to this staff vacancy, there may be a delay in our ability to analyze and respond to your request thoroughly. In an effort to expedite the review, please ensure that your request includes the following:
- Details of the location that are relevant to the concern, including the specific street block (ex., on Street 1 between Street 2 and 3), intersection, nearest address, and/or neighborhood characteristics that influence driving behaviors (ex., school, shopping center, cars parked on planting strip, etc.), and,
- A detailed description of the concern (speeding, fail-to-yield intersection crashes, sideswipes of parked cars, avoiding signals, etc.).
The City uses specific data (traffic volumes, documented speeds, and crashes) to determine the appropriate tool and prioritize funding. Once we can gather and analyze the appropriate data, we will be in touch. We look forward to working with you and appreciate your patience and attention to this matter.
