Resident urges stronger enforcement and traffic calming after drag racing complaints
Summary
A North Las Vegas resident urged the council to address late‑night drag racing and dangerous street activity in her neighborhood, suggesting speed cameras, slow‑signs and parking controls to protect school buses and children; police outreach was acknowledged but concerns remain.
Terry Maria, a North Las Vegas resident, thanked the police for outreach but told the council persistent late‑night drag racing and 'donuts' continue on local streets (Coleman), sometimes running into the early morning hours. She said neighbors report school buses not stopping at signs and described the safety threat to children and residents.
Maria suggested traffic calming measures such as speed displays/camera signage and revised parking restrictions; the mayor offered to have the relevant councilmember meet with her after the meeting to discuss enforcement and potential engineering solutions. The council acknowledged the ongoing problem and directed staff to follow up with law enforcement and public works.
