Residents in the area expressed their concerns Sunday regarding dangerous driving in the area.
"Spring Valley has a lot of children in the community and there's no regard for them…There's all these kids playing on the sidewalk and all these cars flying by. No regard for children," said one Spring Valley educator.
"Kids have died. There are so many being hit. At a certain point, someone has to say, 'Come on. Do something,"' said Jackie Renwick.
