Residents demand action against dangerous street racing

Residents of Highland neighborhood voiced their concerns at a recent government meeting regarding the increasing prevalence of street racing in their area. Ann Fulton, a local resident, highlighted the disruptive impact of late-night racing activities, particularly on Highland and Nebraska streets. She described how the noise from racing cars prevents families from enjoying their homes, especially during cooler nights when windows are typically opened.

Fulton noted that the issue has escalated since the recent improvements made to Franklin Street, which has seemingly shifted racing activities to nearby neighborhoods, including South Boulevard. She expressed particular concern for the safety of children living in these areas, as the racing often occurs not only at night but also during the day, with drivers performing dangerous maneuvers such as donuts.

The community's growing frustration over this issue underscores the need for local authorities to address the safety and quality of life concerns stemming from street racing.
