Yesterday afternoon, I saw two trucks racing one another on Jeff Ave. around 3:30 - 4:00. They were taking up both lanes on Jeff Ave at W. Woodland as they went up the hill. Both were over the speed limit. I was walking my dog and stopped to call this into the non-emergency police number. I encourage folks to contact the city manager and their elected officials about this ongoing issue. If you have already contacted them, contact them again. JP residents have jumped through every hoop the city has put in front of us to get these speed humps, speed tables, roundabouts -- whatever speed calming device is needed -- for the past 6 years. I haven't seen any sign that the city has started to install any speed calming strategies. The police chief in his last city council update suggested doing a study to see whether radar and lasers could control traffic on Jeff Ave. Although the city could make a lot of money ticketing speeders in that area, that approach would not prevent the potential injury or loss of life these speeders are likely to cause. Students walking to and from Tri-Cities High School and other JP residents should not have to endure this totally unnecessary risk.

Julie- perfectly said. 2 days ago I saw two small cars racing each other on both lanes. Perhaps this is a new game for them? EPPD needs to be proactive and not just reactive.

I am in total agreement. Aggressive driving & speeding are out of control, especially around the times note above.

Impossible to understand why speed bumps have not been installed on Jefferson Avenue. Are you waiting for someone to get killed?

Thank you for submitting this issue. I will forward this request to the Police Department.
