'Automated speed enforcement goes hand in hand with roadway design, engineering and education toward safer streets where no one is killed or seriously injured in a crash,' said Interim Director of Transportation Valerie Watson, in a statement.
In addition to the speeding corridors, the city said it will enable automated speed enforcement at an existing fixed camera at Valmont Road and 47th Street.
The city said the AVIS corridors were selected based on data over the past five years related to incidents of crashes, speeding, reckless driving or community complaints of speeding on a street.
'Crash data and conversations with our community consistently raise red flags around speeding,' Watson said. 'We know from experience that speeding influences the injury severity of crashes when they occur.'

The city said the AVIS corridors will be activated on a rolling basis, with the dates posted on an online map, as they become available. There will also be 30 days of warnings before the citation period.
Warnings will not be issued on streets with existing automated enforcement, according to the city, which said active corridors 'can be enforced anytime' using photo radar vans or fixed cameras.
All of the corridors were approved by the Boulder City Council and will be marked with signage to notify drivers of device locations.

Generate Key Takeaways Back in 2022, four University of Idaho students were massacred in an off-campus rental house, which prompted a weeks-long manhunt for a suspected killer and rattled the quiet college town of Moscow, Idaho, that hadn't seen a murder in seven years. The victims — Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20 — were all found stabbed to death in their home at 1122 King Road in Moscow on Nov. 13, 2022. Weeks passed without any significant developments or a suspect. After hundreds of interviews and thousands of tips in search of a suspected killer, authorities homed in on Bryan Kohberger as their suspect. The then-28-year-old was pursuing a doctorate in criminal justice at Washington State University, just across the state border from Moscow. In mid-December 2022, authorities tracked down Kohberger in Pennsylvania, where he was home for the holidays at his parents' house after finishing up his first semester. He was arrested on Dec. 30, 2022, and days later was extradited to Idaho. "The defendant has studied crime," lead prosecutor Bill Thompson said during a July 2 hearing, in which Kohberger pleaded guilty to killing all four students. "In fact, he did a detailed paper on crime scene processing when he was working on his Ph.D., and he had that knowledge skillset.' Prosecutors laid out DNA evidence, cellphone records and surveillance footage that tied Kohberger to the killings. Here's a look at the timeline of what happened, the evidence and how authorities tracked him down, according to an evidentiary summary recited by Thompson at the hearing earlier this month. Photo illustration: Yahoo News; photos: Courtesy of the family, Maddie Mogen via Instagram; Kaylee Goncalves via Instagram; Xana Kernodle via Instagram A timeline of what happened on Nov. 13, 2022, according to investigators Just after 4 a.m., Kohberger entered the rental home at 1122 King Road through the kitchen sliding door at the back of the house. Kohberger went up to the third floor, where he killed Mogen and Goncalves with a knife. He left the knife sheath next to Mogen's body. He then worked his way back down through the house and encountered Kernodle, who had received a DoorDash order, also killing her with a knife. Kernodle's boyfriend Chapin was asleep in her bedroom, and Kohberger killed him as well. 'Each victim suffered multiple wounds,' Thompson said. 'There is no evidence that there was any sexual component or sexual assault on any of the victims.' There were two other roommates in the house at the time of the killings who survived: Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke. According to court documents, Mortensen said she woke up to strange noises and crying. She looked outside her bedroom door and saw a figure wearing black clothing and a mask walking toward her. Mortensen froze as the person walked past her and went to a sliding glass door. After that she locked herself in her room. Around 11:58 a.m.: A 911 call was placed to report that Kernodle was unconscious. Moscow Police arrived to discover the four students had been killed. Kohberger's cellphone pinged repeatedly near the murder house July 9, 2022: Kohberger's phone started connecting to a cellphone tower in the area of the 1122 King Road home, where the murders would occur months later. Between July 9 and Nov. 7, 2022: Kohberger's phone connected to that same tower from about 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. about 23 times. The prosecution has said they don't have evidence Kohberger had direct contact with the home or residents during that time — but they know that his phone was in the area at those times. Nov. 13, 2022: Kohberger left his apartment in Pullman, Wash. His phone was turned off at about 2:54 a.m. It remained off until about 4:48 a.m. when his phone came back on, and his phone activity tracked back to his apartment in Pullman. Kohberger's car was seen on surveillance video repeatedly passing the murder house The site of the quadruple murder on Jan. 3, 2023 in Moscow, Idaho. () Aug. 22, 2022: Kohberger was pulled over by a Latah County Sheriff's deputy in Idaho for a routine traffic stop. He was driving a 2015 white Hyundai Elantra with a Pennsylvania license plate. Authorities obtained his name, phone number and address. Nov. 13, 2022: Video surveillance from a business on the highway that connects Pullman and Moscow showed a 2015 white Hyundai Elantra entering Moscow around 3:02 a.m. Around 3:30 a.m., surveillance from businesses and residences showed Kohberger's car circling the neighborhood near 1122 King Road. 4:05 a.m.: Kohberger parked his car on the street behind the house. 4:20 a.m.: His car is seen on surveillance tape leaving the area outside 1122 King Road at a high speed. He then drove on rural backroads to avoid highways with surveillance cameras. 5:26 a.m.: Surveillance cameras in Pullman picked up his car heading toward his apartment. 5:30 a.m.: Kohberger arrived back at his apartment in Pullman. Around 9 a.m.: As indicated by cellphone tower pings, his phone returned to the area of King Road, stayed for about 10 minutes and then returned to his apartment in Pullman. Around 9:30 a.m.: Based on evidence taken from his cellphone, he took a selfie giving a thumbs-up in what appears to be his bathroom at his residence. The knife and sheath In March 2022, Kohberger bought a Ka-Bar knife, which is meant for combat, on Amazon using a gift card. Evidence shows he attempted to delete his purchase history from Amazon. The knife sheath was found next to Mogen's body and was sent to the Idaho State Police forensic lab. Single-source male DNA was found on the snap of the sheath, as well as blood from Mogen and Goncalves. The DNA on a Q-tip Before Kohberger's arrest in December 2022, authorities conducted a trash pull at his parent's house in Pennsylvania. They took samples of trash that were set out on the street for collection and sent them to the Idaho State forensics laboratory. Lab experts were able to identify DNA on a Q-tip that came from the father of the person whose DNA was found on the knife sheath that was found at the crime scene next to Mogen's body. After Kohberger was arrested and extradited to Idaho, a DNA sample was taken from him, which matched the DNA from the button on the knife sheath. What's next for Kohberger? Kohberger, 30, was expected to go through a lengthy and highly publicized trial in August. But in a surprise turn of events, Kohberger pleaded guilty on July 2 to murdering the four students as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, where he's expected to receive four consecutive life sentences, plus 10 years for burglary, according to the terms of the deal. He also waived his right to appeal and to challenge the sentence. What we still don't know Authorities never found the murder weapon, nor did they find any usable evidence in Kohberger's sparse apartment or office. When they searched his Hyundai Elantra, they found that it was cleaned so thoroughly that there wasn't anything to discover even in the crevices of the car. The main questions that have gone unanswered still remain: Why did Kohberger kill these four students? Why did he pick the house at 1122 King Road and those victims who were apparent strangers to him? On Monday, President Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that he hopes Judge Steven Hippler 'makes Kohberger, at a minimum, explain why he did these horrible murders.' 'There are no explanations, there is no NOTHING. People were shocked that he was able to plea bargain, but the Judge should make him explain what happened,' Trump wrote online, adding, 'These were vicious murders, with so many questions left unanswered.' Kohberger's current plea agreement doesn't require him to explain his motive or actions. While he'll have the formal opportunity to speak directly to the court before he is sentenced this week after victim impact statements are read, it's unclear whether he will say anything.

Woman compares husband's death to George Floyd after cops allegedly kneel on his neck during restraint
An Alabama woman whose husband died shortly after being restrained by police is comparing his case to that of George Floyd. Sandra Lee Reeder claims that her husband, Phillip, called out at least three times that he could not breathe as an Irondale Police Department officer allegedly kneeled on the back of his neck for three minutes. Sandra and her family are calling for an investigation into the department and likening Phillip's death to Floyd's murder at the hands of a Minneapolis Police Department officer in 2020. The 52-year-old's cause of death was ruled a homicide by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office, which noted he appeared to suffer a dysrhythmia — a kind of heart attack — brought on by the presence of cocaine in his blood, heart disease, and exertion. "It is our opinion, based on the circumstances surrounding death and the findings at autopsy, that Mr Phillip David Reeder died of hypertensive heart disease associated with cocaine use and restraint during altercation," Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said. "The manner of death is best classified as 'homicide' for vital statistical purposes." Authorities said homicide is not a legal conclusion of fault, according to Last August, Irondale police responded to a report that a man on Highway 78 was running in and out of traffic and acting erratically, reported. The man running around in traffic was Phillip. Sandra said her husband was having a mental health crisis due to work stress and was not committing a crime when police arrived to restrain him. She and her family viewed body camera footage of the incident on Friday. 'The Reeder family's hearts are heavy,' Sandra said during a press conference. 'Phillip David Reeder suffered a painful death.' Sandra describes seeing her husband in the video calling out that he can't breathe three times while an officer kneeled on his neck. Another officer as the scene suggested that the kneeling officer roll Phillip over, according to his wife. Police claimed that Phillips was tased, hit his head, and was given first aid at the scene until medics arrived to transport him to a hospital. Phillip died at the hospital. His wife says the body camera footage suggests otherwise, and pointed to the coroner's report stating Phillip had other injuries on his body that were not his cause of death. 'In another statement in the Irondale Police Department police report on Phillip David Reeder, it states that when Phillip was tased that Phillip suffered his bloody face and abrasions on his face from stumbling hitting his head and face in concrete,' Sandra said during a press conference on Monday. 'Upon my review of all four body cams, this is not the truth.' Attorneys for the city issued a statement on Monday saying they disagreed with the way Sandra presented the situation during her press conference. Attorneys added that none of the city's officers put a knee on the back of Phillip's neck. 'The Jefferson County District Attorney's Office did not see any probable cause sufficient for criminal charges in regard to the officers and their actions during the arrest/use of force incident,' the city said in a statement. According to the family has not filed a wrongful death lawsuit, but the move is under consideration.

Vietnamese ICE detainee dies in custody, prompting investigation
A Vietnamese national died while under the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the weekend after experiencing 'seizures, vomiting, and unresponsiveness,' immigration officials said Tuesday. Tien Xuan Phan had been detained at the Karnes County Immigration Processing Center in South Central Texas since his arrest about seven weeks ago. Phan was admitted to Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital in Karnes County on Friday and later air-lifted to the Methodist Hospital Northeast in Live Oak, a northeastern suburb of San Antonio, for further evaluation. The 55-year-old was pronounced dead at the hospital Saturday shortly before 6 p.m. The cause of death remains under investigation, authorities said Tuesday. ICE is required to make public all reports regarding an in-custody death within 90 days. Phan was ordered removed by an immigration judge on April 2, 2012, but 'failed to leave the U.S. as ordered,' according to the agency. Enforcement and Removal Operations deportation officers arrested Phan on June 2. Officials have not disclosed whether the Vietnamese national had a criminal record. Phan is at least the ninth immigrant — and the second from Vietnam — to die in ICE custody this year, according to the agency's detainee death reporting database. Last year, 12 foreign nationals died while in ICE custody.
