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.

I don't know who is rejecting my comments but I don't see what I posted that you deemed so unacceptable you felt the need to reject my post. Why would you do that? Are you trying to prevent people from reporting problems in their neighborhood- the purpose of this entire site?
I'm re-typing what I posted before here:
This problem is still ongoing. I was kept awake until 2 AM last night by sporadic subwoofer blasts emanating from cars rolling through the neighborhood. Last night I also narrowly avoided being killed by a driver who ran the red light at 19th and 14th ave (same intersection where I almost got killed by another drunk driver who also ran the red light a few days ago.) He sped through the intersection and turned onto 14th avenue several seconds after his light turned red and I was halfway crossing the street, I narrowly avoided him hitting me. He almost hit a car that was coming down 14th ave who had to slam on his brakes at the last second to avoid a collision.
This area is in dire need of law enforcement intervention. I have been reporting these problems to OPD since October of last year to no avail. It's already been about half a year and OPD isn't doing anything about the problem, and it appears that someone is even going as far as to censor my comments about this issue.
