Residents of a westside neighborhood are requesting temporary speed bumps be installed on their streets to prevent motorcyclists from speeding through their community.
Jennifer Williams, city clerk, read an email sent to city officials during a council work session meeting from Elizabeth Keller, Jarod Moore and Lacey Barlow about the hazards being caused by motorcyclists in their neighborhood. The three city residents live along Myers Avenue and East Cowden Place, with the two streets being connected by a horseshoe-shaped road.
“With the warmer weather upon us, we have been experiencing an increasing problem with certain motorcyclist speeding on the horseshoe road and deliberately, intentionally, revving their engines in retaliation, in front of targeted residences, which can be heard for blocks away,” the email stated. “They are also doing wheelies on Barrett Avenue and residents have also witnessed children without helmets being given rides.”
