Lansing locals, leaders call for action on street racing
LANSING, (Mich.) WLNS — Lansing locals say that street racing is a recurring issue in the city, and something should be done about it. City officials agree. Lansing City Council President Ryan Kost tells 6 News it's been going on for quite a while. 12 of 13 injured in street racing crash released from hospital 'It has been a problem even before I was on City Council,' says Kost. 'These long straight big roads, five-lane roads like MLK out here, S Cedar Street, Saginaw, you hear it all night long.' The city leader says he is frustrated with what he sees as a continued problem of reckless driving in the city. Kost thinks the design of certain roads lends itself to speeding. 'And it points out a big fault in how we have our city designed, these big straight roads like this going 45, it was a problem on my way here from City Hall, I was getting blown by by vehicles,' he said. Street racing crash injured 13 people, including child, Lansing police say However, solving the issue of reckless driving is easier said than done. A simple speed limit doesn't guarantee people will drive cautiously. That's why Kost would like to see other measures taken. 'Throwing out ideas like Detroit used, which is a helicopter in the sky, so instead of having a high-speed chase through the city, you're following the car that is being pursued by the helicopter to address it,' said Kost. 'Things that have been around forever, like road diets.' A road diet happens when a road is intentionally narrowed, limiting lanes, but also limiting open road, which can be used to speed. 'There will be serious consequences': Lansing mayor says about street racing crash Locals agree, like Stan Shuck, who said he hears reckless driving on regular basis—and not just by cars. 'It's like they've got a track around the town, especially at night with the motorcycles, they zoom by there, they go down to the highway,' said Shuck. 'You can literally hear them go all the way around the city on the highway, they get back off on 496 and make the loop again,' said Shuck. 'I am still so angry': Mayor Schor says in response to street racing crash Kost also listed more stop lights and traffic circles as other methods of slowing people down. 6 News expects to hear from the city's police chief and mayor on this topic tomorrow morning.
