Enforce our traffic laws

If Kent suffers from lack of funds, as I assume, to the layperson, it seems simple to make significant steps toward solving that issue.

If Kent suffers from lack of funds, as I assume, to the layperson, it seems simple to make significant steps toward solving that issue.

1. Ticketing speeders on 240th between 116th and 104th, and on James between 104th and Central. Cars, trucks and motorcycles many times throughout the day and night exceed 60 mph, some drastically.

2. Install red light cameras at the corners of 240th and 104th, and at 104th and 256th. You can’t sit at either intersection and not see at least one vehicle run a red light.

3. Enforce the fireworks ban within the city limits. It takes no effort to see and hear violations starting several days prior to the Fourth of July, and the sky and streets are full the day and night of the Fourth.

Just enforce the laws already in place.
