I took the opportunity to look up city codes regarding speed limits especially those signs designating this is a "no racing zone" between certain hours which I don't understand. I won't bother to list the exact code number because the police department knows what they are. I have attended many home owner meeting's in Victoria Park when we have had the opportunity to have a reprehensive of the police department present to us what and how to have a safer community. The representative always mentions if we see/hear something call 911.Well,we have called so many times on weekends the communications person does not ask us anymore where the racing is coming from. I challenge the city council to inquire how many"racing" calls they receive on a Friday or Saturday/Sunday morning.That would tell the story of how frustrated people on Talbot hill are. Have we allowed the car racers to dictate to the city of Renton to stay out of our way?The police task force that caught some 40 violators I thank them but unfortunately that raid was only a onetime event. The racers need to be shut down before some innocent driver gets in a car racers way and the innocent could be severely injured or worst yet deceased. Please continue to work as a city defending your citizens from these illegal car racing bullies. Thank you. Dale and Linda Hoover 613 S 25th St. 425-228-5448 Renton, Victoria Park Neighborhood.
