Council asks police to step up enforcement after speeding complaints in Glendale and River Bend parks

Councilors reported recurring speeding complaints in two city parks and requested increased police enforcement. Councilor (speaker 3) said vehicles have been seen traveling “20, 30 mile an hour” in Glendale Park (10 mph limit) and River Bend Park (15 mph limit), and asked the police department to issue citations during evening hours to deter dangerous driving near children.

Mayor (speaker 1) and other councilors discussed temporary measures already in place—rubber speed bumps installed by the parks staff—and noted those must be removed for winter plowing. Police Captain Bill (speaker 10) acknowledged preparations for festival traffic and said staffing and recent recruitment/testing efforts should help enforcement; the council asked staff and police to coordinate targeted patrols.
