People in the Bay View neighborhood say the issue of reckless driving has been ongoing for several years.
Just last month, a woman was hit while crossing the street. For many, the incident sounded the alarm on the importance of addressing reckless driving in the area once again.
The session will be held at the Bay View Library from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Community members are welcome to stop by anytime to talk about crash data, learn more about traffic calming measures, or share personal experiences with the department.
