Racing in the Streets

As we move on from the election the city and it's leaders must focus on what is ahead of us here in Cambridge. there are many issues that await and everyone of course has their own ideas about what is important and i am no different.Among the many issues that i would like to see addressed is the issue of speed in the city, no not the drug but the seemingly increasing need for drivers to go faster on our city streets. Recently in the Cambridge Times a woman wrote about the speeders on Adler Drive, now I live close to Adler and i can tell you that indeed this area of town has a lot of people driving way too fast and something has to be done. Between NewHope Cemetery and Queen Street in Hespeler there are no stop signs and this has almost been a challenge to many to try and see how fast they can go. I have seen some drivers on Franklin Blvd thinking that the speed limit is 100 km's along it while switching lanes at every opportunity. And why do they do this? Basically because the police presence is not there, the lack of Policing in this city is and always will be an issue and until the Region and the City sit down and realize that Cambridge is under served we will continue to have way too much Racing in the Streets and while i do not have a solution to the problem, i and many like myself would be more than willing to sit down with whomever it takes to try and help solve the issue. Until then all we can do is try to take down the speeders license plate and hope they don't cause a fatal accident.
