Description

Can one person from the police or city government explain to me why there is no enforcement of any traffic regulations? We continually have a speeding issue by bikes and cars. Speed limit is 25 mph. Our safety is ruined by reckless drivers hurtling down this straight stretch any sunny day, summer evening, or late night. You can't trust crosswalks then (ps - we need new signs - they always disappear in the winters) given there's no way the maniacs could stop in time hurtling past Grand.

Back when Vinny was heading up our community policing he said something about "we've got some radar guns coming I've requested for our local beat cops" but I've never seen anyone since then handing out a ticket.

Without enforcement, we don't have speed limits. Safety and quality of life is out of the window. Family neighborhood out the window.

So, I'd just like to see one answer from someone responsible for this issue to our community: why never any enforcement on Q-av? Why have I seen cops on harleys at spots downtown where running through crosswalks at 70 has to be impossible, but never in our neighborhood?
