3:27Now PlayingIn a unanimous decision Monday night, the city council in Commerce City voted to install speed tables outside all Adams 14 district schools after the death of a teenage girl in a hit and run crash near an elementary school prompted citizen petitions demanding action.
Kara Kincaid, 16, was walking home from a friend's house Tuesday evening when she was killed crossing 76th Avenue near Monaco Elementary, her family said.
"It’s unsafe in the streets in Commerce City," said Elizabeth Vargas, who helped collect signatures demanding traffic calming devices near the school. "They need to get safely to the school. And this is a problem that we have and they need to solve it."
City Council agreed. Mayor Benjamin Huseman added a last-minute agenda item to address traffic calming -- and urged the council to agree to install "speed tables" outside all Adams 14 district schools.
