Veronica Robinson said she's constantly living on edge because of chronic speeding and reckless driving through her Cleveland Central Avenue neighborhood.
Robinson said she and her neighbors finally reached wits' end after a car crashed through a fence and slammed into her neighbor's home on March 9.
"It's an everyday occurrence, where the vehicles are just flying through here," Robinson said. “They're doing 50, 60, 70, sometimes 80 mph, there are times they're even drag racing...When I heard the accident, it sounded like explosion. There's lots of children, elderly people, we even have people that are handicapped. We have schools here; we have children that are coming to and from.
Starr said he'll be contacting Cleveland's Traffic Commissioner in the coming days, hoping a traffic study can be conducted to look into reducing the limit to 25 mph in all sections of Central Avenue."I will be talking to Commander Dorothy Todd at third district and give her information regarding this to see how many tickets have been issued here and to send an extra car to police the area,” Starr said. “It’s a disturbing issue, it’s a disturbing problem, it’s not fair.
