WEIRTON A group of residents approached Weirton Council, Monday, seeking help with speeding vehicles in their neighborhood.
During the Citizens’ Comments portion of Monday’s meeting, resident Amy Perez approached council with concerns over the speed of vehicles traveling on Powers Road.
“I’m not going to let it be ignored any longer,” Perez said.
Perez said the speeding is an issue both with visitors to the neighborhoods as well as residents, and asked for help in putting a stop to it.
She explained that Powers Road is a small and narrow street, and told of how in recent months her family’s dog was struck and killed by a speeding vehicle which drove away, and her fear the same could happen to her 5-year-old son.
