Residents fault frequent stop‑sign running by golf carts and e‑bikes; police pledge stepped‑up patrols
Summary
A resident warned trustees that golf carts, e‑bikes and RAVs are running stop signs on Edison Street and other neighborhood corners; Chief Brown said the department will emphasize patrols, deploy a speed trailer and use body cameras and Ring‑portal submissions to gather evidence.
A Kincaid resident told trustees the persistent problem of golf carts, e‑bikes and off‑road vehicles running stop signs and endangering children in a residential neighborhood must be addressed.
“...the next time one of them comes through my stop signs like they do are going to deal with me,” said resident Timothy Givens, describing repeated violations near his home on Edison. Chief Brown acknowledged the problem, asked for time to address it operationally and said increased visible patrols and technology will be used. Brown described plans for a speed trailer that logs speeds and times for enforcement data and reiterated the planned rollout of body cameras and a Ring‑style portal for residents to submit video evidence. “Just give me a chance to work on it at least,” Brown told the resident.
Trustees asked staff to prioritize complaints about particular streets and instructed police to begin targeted enforcement as the new equipment and cameras come online. The board emphasized they will use both enforcement and resident video to build cases for repeated violators.
