During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing concerns regarding speeding and drag racing in local neighborhoods. A proposal was put forth suggesting that an investment of approximately $300,000 to $400,000 could help address these issues by implementing geometric changes to the roadways, potentially slowing down traffic.

The conversation highlighted past efforts to improve road safety, including the installation of wider shoulders intended for pedestrian and bicycle use. However, there was uncertainty about the effectiveness of previous measures, such as speed tables, which were reportedly considered in the 1990s but not implemented in recent roadwork.

Officials acknowledged the need for continued monitoring and enforcement of speed regulations, urging the public to report any incidents of drag racing or reckless driving to the police department. The chief director emphasized the importance of community involvement in identifying problem areas, indicating that the police would respond to reports of racing activities as they arise.

The meeting underscored a commitment to enhancing road safety and addressing community concerns about speeding, with officials looking to balance traffic flow with the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
