Northglenn City Councilman Nicholas Walker says he and his colleagues hear one complaint from residents most often; cars are speeding through Northglenn. He said the police are enforcing the speed limit in the city, but it doesn't seem to be helping. "They need just a little bit of an extra tool to supplement the fine work that our police do," Walker said. That's why Northglenn City Council is planning to adopt "safety sensitive zones" throughout the city They will be 4 zones, in four different Wards, on residential streets near trails parks or other pedestrian heavy areas where fines will be doubled for speeding.
