[Vision2020] MPD Press Release

[Donovan Arnold]

I don't see why they don't shut down downtown from motor traffic and have people drive around on either 6th and 3rd streets. You would have a better community and less accidents. Cars and people are not meant to occupy the same space at the same time.

I hope that more serious charges than inattentive driving are brought and vigorously pursued.  
 
How many more of these incidents are going to occur before the MPD and the city attorney decide that traffic law enforcement needs a lot more attention and vigor?
