FYI watchers.....Another speeder lives on Erieview his car is white, and another one lives the corner of SouthLakeshore and St. Lawrence. ( eastside) A black car with a 30 day tag! Also that house usually has more of his friends that also are guilty of the same, Speeding Fast around corners,and down the streets This is not Painesville speedway, enough is enough generate some money for this city and stop these idiots from causing accidents before they happen. FINE THEM than they will think twice about flicking off a tax paying citizen.

I love how this forum has turned from people trying to help other people/local municipality out with potholes, dangerous intersections, broken stop lights and the like...

Into a bunch of whiny little do-nothing anonymous complainers.

How about instead of posting online to a forum, you do something CONSTRUCTIVE and write down the license plate numbers and record the events with a portable camera and get them arrested?

Oh no... Forbid the thought of actually doing anything YOURSELF to solve the problem. Just sit around and complain amongst yourselves because nobody is doing something about a problem they don't know about.

I really wish that this site was better moderated to remove the clearly useless posts, because it really has gone downhill quickly.

Don't think this post is useless? Lets think for a moment if it can be solved.

1. It doesn't give any information that can be easily used by the authorities to actually do anything. So even if they WANTED to help, they have things like, "There are people in Honda's who live in a lot of areas who make NOISE when it is late! One of their cars is WHITE and the other one is BLACK with a 30-day tag! And sometimes they drive fast!"

That narrows it down. Thanks a bunch, guys.

2. Thanks to something called "Presumption of Innocence" these people are only going to get in trouble when they are caught ACTUALLY doing something--not when someone writes on the Internet about it. RECORD THE EVENT WITH A CAMERA. Don't just sit at your computer and write about it.

3. Until they do something that is higher than a misdemeanor the cops usually won't care much. Loud music is a misdemeanor. Driving fast is also a misdemeanor. Reckless driving, guess what? MISDEMEANOR. Even if they are doing all three at once, the chances of them actually doing it while a cop is around is EXTREMELY RARE.

In short, the only way you are going to get them to slow down is by putting in speed bumps. But nobody wants that, as that inconveniences YOU as well as the other people. The only way to get them to stop playing the music loud is to have the government put in a limit on how loud you can make stereos. yeah, sure--in a pigs eye. And driving reckless? Well, lets just make all cars computer controlled so we don't have to think anymore. Then we won't have any of these issues, any more now will we?

Oh, right... We can't even stop using petroleum products to power our cars so how are we going to make a car that drive itself... Maybe we should all just go back to riding bikes around instead of using cars.

Please !!!!Eastlake police is and was well aware of the speeding issues in this neighborhood. They shot Radar over the Fall and that seemed to quiet it down the idiots. Well guess what the weather broke and they are back speeding again. They drive so fast that we cannot read the license plate. Walking in the neighborhood that is how we know where they live. Officer Reik did a great job, perhaps he needs to visit this fine individuals and remind them of the 25mph speedlimit. Oh BTW since this was posted on a public forum, they seem to have slowed down some. Sort of like wearing a scarlette letter!

Hi Neighbors! I, too, am sick of the speeding idiots. The one on Bayshore even likes to ride his motorcycle on the sidewalk, with total disregard for the small children in this neighborhood. Don't bother talking to the parents of these morons because according to them their kids are good kids and we need to 'stop picking on them'.

I agree with the speeding focus our police dept should be out there to protect and serve all areas of the city but as you should know they are staffed at a bare minimum this administration feels pay off the stadium early is more important than our city services that meaning all services police fire service most people cant pay off there mortgages early that is why we have payments pay on time this is what they should do and give us back what we need most SERVICE THE TAX PAYERS AND QUIT BLAMING OTHERS till then right down license plate numbers they cant be going that fast you cant see as for the music im sure you all were young once and if they are going that fast you dont hear it that long lol

So here is a prime example of the nice residents that live in Surfside. As we all know they have placed a radar machine towards the end of Lakehurst, well i must say that was a HUGE waste of time! If anything it has just caused people to drive faster. Nice that these fine gentleman feel that they are so above the law, that race extremly fast. So unfortunate that there is not a camera in that machine would have surely caught all the offenders. Two days ago it was discovered by a resident that these nice young men had caught some fish and thought it was a funny idea to place them on top of the Radar Machine so they could bake in the hot sun. Nice fine gentleman dropped it off the night before and went speeding away. We can only hope the road construction on the street lasts all summer seems to have slowed them down today!

Annoyed, you had all that time to watch all that happen, and NOT get any license plate numbers down?

What were YOU thinking?

All it takes is a license plate, and a phone call to the non-emergency line to have them on the lookout for the car. Call them enough with it, and they will pull him over or go to his house and ask questions.

Stop being passive-aggressive and take action.

Take a picture (you obviously have enough time to sit outside and wait) and show them what is going on.

So yah...the above complaint has come to full fruition....the black honda that was referenced above, definitely was the cause of yesterday's huge accident on St. Lawrence. So glad my kid stopped hanging out with these suburban thugs long ago.

Yep, to bad nothing got done to stop this from happening!

@Billy

Yeah, like you know--reporting these cars to the police rather than complaining about them on a website.

At Hurr Durr, we have. Many times complained with plate numbers and everything.

What would you like them to do? The guy had an accident, and now his car is hopefully totaled.

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT THEM TO DO?!?

This is not an issue that can be resolved by this website. Nobody is suggestion anything constructive, they are just complaining to one another about the issue.

I am currently walking the surfside neighborhoods with a petition. Please support my cause and sign the petition we can unite as a neighborhood and hopefully get this issue resolved. I currently have 25 signatures, and I could use the support. Some neighbors have been really nice, and some have been extremely rude, not a surprising mix!

Hurr Durr is closing a legit issue.

The eastlake police and city council are looking at this topic.

Reopening.

Keep this open until it is resolved! Someone is going to get killed in this development. This 'crash' the other night should be a wake up call for the police. I've lived here 24 years and our street is a drag strip.

To make matters worse...when S.LKSB was redone last year, it is now a nice, smooth, drag strip. I see these cars coming 40-60mph down this street. I've seen this black Honda numerous times pass my house at 50+mph. Glad we won't see it anymore.

Maybe we need to start posting license plates so the police can refer to them. The Camaro's, Mazda's, black SUV's, and Honda's that race around here.

This is a residential community with kids and elderly. It is not the Need for Speed video game!! So glad that no one was killed the other night. If it takes a block watch and consistent email of license plates to the City, then let's do it. Someone has to be on the lookout for our kids lives....and our own.

To the neighbor with the petitions, we welcome you. Anyone who doesn't is part of the problem. We need to take our streets back from the irresponsible speeders who endanger our children. I have seen far too many close calls, and the police would have to sit on the street 24/7 to take care of all of the idiot drivers. To the person who claims that all you need to do is get a license plate and that solves everything.....yeah, sure.......the speeders magically become responsible. NOT A CHANCE. Report them enough times and they do burnouts in front of your house. Or ride their motorcycles on your sidewalk. Curse your small kids out. Get real.

@Bayshore Resident: So what is the petition going to do? The only way to make people slow down is to put speed bumps in. Speed bumps are never put on residental streets, because the speed limit is 25MPH which is too face for speed bumps--you will damage your car.

So please, enlighten me as to what this magical slip of paper is going to do once it obtains a mystical number of people's signatures.

Oh, and if you report them enough--they get their licenses taken away or at least suspended for a couple of months.

hey hurr durr...they do put speed bumps in roads...I can't tell you if they do in Ohio, but I can name two roads in Florida..one in Orlando and one in Clearwater that have them....both ends of the street warn of the bumps, they are more smooth than the ones you think of in the parking lots, but regardless, they slow people enough, because flying over them will totally wreck your suspension and undercarriage. And by the way, the see, click fix is being utilized by the communities to be aware of the issues of residents' concern. The residents are the eyes and ears of the safety of our neighborhoods...Stop your whining and try to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. AND whay are you wasting your time here if you don't think this is a viable way to address issues. Just walk away!

How about we ask Hurr Durr to go find other people to play devil's advocate with. Everyone else commenting on this topic wants to work on the problem while he just wants to be argumentative. Mocking people who are throwing out ideas about a serious problem...certainly not the idea behind this site. Please take your attitude elsewhere. Thank you.

Be careful what you wish for. U-Verse reminds me of my freezer. They all have their drawbacks.

THATS SO FUNNY

To "her durr", If you would bother to take the time and "look" under "Who is watching". You might also see a certain "Municipal Avenger".

why can't we see this content?????? big brother??

Not big brother. Just other people voting down the issue, because it was impossible to do.
