that all too often comes with it.“This last weekend a pedestrian was critically injured, and another person was shot. Last year, a woman was shot and killed on Capitol Hill at a street racing event,” Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison said. “In the past several years, these events have increased the public safety and health hazard in a nuisance way, but also in addition a complete danger.
“SPD from an increased emphasis patrol perspective, Parks because we need more Park rangers, and also the Seattle Department of Transportation,” Seattle City Council member Rob Saka said.The city ordinance kickstarted plans to install speed enforcement cameras in key areas of the city that are heavily impacted by unsafe driving.“Our community has been pleading for help for years to stop drag racing.
The passed legislation designated 10 dangerous zones throughout the city, which includes West Marginal Way, Sand Point Way, NE 65th Street near Magnuson Park, Seaview Avenue, 3rd Avenue, Martin Luther King Jr Way, Rainier Avenue, and two on Alki Avenue.Harger: It’s time to try something different regarding presidential debates
