Description

Every day there is reckless drivers racing up and down this street, revving their illegally modified engines as they burn rubber doing burnouts on 14th ave and sometimes come up/down E 30th street and other nearby streets. They also have a habit of loudly blaring subwoofers, with bass powerful enough to knock items off shelves inside your apartment. It's a residential neighborhood with no bars or night clubs nearby, but during certain times in the day it feels like there is a night club right next door from the constant, deafening throb of subwoofers blasting bass as loud as humanly possible as these cars roll through the neighborhood disturbing the peace. Because there is a red light at E 31st street, they will also hover in the area waiting for the light, during which time all the residents in the area are exposed to the awful noise of their vulgar, loud music. Their reckless driving regularly causes traffic accidents in this neighborhood. The other night I narrowly avoided being struck and killed by a drunk driver who ran a red light while I was crossing the street at E 29th and 14th Ave. The driver, a black female, threw an empty liquor shot bottle at me before speeding off on 14th avenue. This needs to stop. I've been calling OPD non-emergency line 20-30 times per day about the problem since October 2017.
