A variety of cars and trucks can be seen and heard speeding along "G" Street in Washougal. The City Council is considering whether to fill a vacancy in the police department by hiring a patrol officer to focus on traffic enforcement. That potential hiring, and additional 2011 budget issues, will be up for discussion during a workshop Monday, at 5:30 p.m., in City Hall.

Nora Cobb has lived most of her life in a house on “G” Street. Now 60, she can remember hearing her father yell at drivers of speeding vehicles as he sat on the porch many years ago.

Cobb’s father has passed away, but she and her mother remain in the neighborhood that can sometimes be the scene of a “deafening roar,” according to Cobb.
