Leo for Pasco

How taking a step in the opposite direction and buck the other cities use of the easy button - need money raise taxes. How about revamping the city’s outlook and encourage businesses and sales growth by reducing taxes in Pasco? Sometimes less is more. Imagine having the reputation of being lowest taxed city and biggest business and retail sector. Encourage businesses. Stop making it onerous and difficult to do any business in Pasco.

It’s so sad! I remain concerned at the amount of kids on electric scooters and E-bikes going so fast on streets where cars are. They go all over and it’s hard to see them dart out from a street or from behind cars. These new motorized things go fast with few wearing helmets! Summer is coming and I’m afraid it’s going to happen more!

What are the city council and police doing to enforce safety laws around e-bikes and scooters following this? Look at the comment section on any of the posts on this horrible accident and they are flooded with people describing how dangerous the situation has become.

So sad young man loved to ride would always see him around rest in peace prayers for the family

What intersection?

"Yesterday, our community experienced a heartbreaking loss—a child was tragically killed in an accident while riding an e-bike near McClintock. As a parent, I’m deeply shaken, and my heart goes out to the family. I also want to urge everyone to pay attention to speeding in and around school zones. High schoolers are driving too fast, and we need everyone—drivers and parents alike—to be vigilant. Let’s keep our kids safe. Hug your loved ones a little closer tonight."

I am greatly shocked and sad. Saw Dallen at some of the track meets this year and the recent one in Walla Walla. Enjoyed watching him run these past two years. I know the Pasco Bulldogs track family have him in their hearts and will always remember his outgoing encouraging and supportive cool self.

Pasco City Councilman Leo Perales Does Pasco have a Target Zero or Vision Zero plan to eliminate traffic fatalities? If so, where can I find it? If not, why not?

Pasco City Councilman Leo Perales .... thank you for sharing your thoughts about this horrible and tragic accident. I am sorry that so many people are just focused on what the city, the police, the county officials are going to do to "fix" this. I am SURE his parents were AMAZING parents. But there are realities with kids. They do not always follow rules, even when they are amazing kids. So, this is not necessarily on the parents....the schools, the city, etc. However.... this is MOST CERTAINLY a reason to educate and maybe to add some rules/laws to avoid future tragedy. ❤️

So so sad and senseless. Ive witnesses alot of careless riding with bikes both E and regular as well as scooters especially electric. Please talk to your kids about safety.this is so darn sad. My condolences to their family

Rest in peace dallon I'll always remember you as my best friend 😓

I feel horrible for the person that hit this kid. It’s been said it was the kids fault he was not following the rules of the road. This poor person who hit and killed him now has to live with that for the rest of their lives. A go fund me for continuing therapy they are going to need is what should be started.

This is very sad, but why not mention how horrific it is for the driver of the car. It sounds like it wasn’t their fault. Can you imagine what they are going through too. Let’s keep all involved in our thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for the family members

I saw 2 young riders this week on Burns road on e-bikes or e-scooters, not sure which but no lights and it was 1/2hr from dusk. I asked my husband because I wasn’t sure it it was legal or not, regardless it sure looked dangerous with no lights.

Life is indeed precious, may the family find strength in this difficult time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

As a community it is time parent really enforce safety rules with our kids & grand children. I see scooters flying down the sidewalks, kids never stopping to look. The bikes of all kinds assuming they have the right of way. My prayers are with this family. Also the person who the young man rode out in front of the car. The pain of hitting a child a person has to be devastating. Prayers for all involved.

So very sorry for your loss. Condolences to the family 💔

This is horrible. Prayers for the family and RIP to the departed. I cant imagine how they just feel right now. Everyone on the road in the Tri-cities knows the e-bike/e-scooter problem is out of control. Maybe now city and county officials will finally take the problem seriously. The entire Tri-cities has this issue not just Pasco.

Very sad. I'm very heartbroken for the family.

Rest in peace. Prayers for all affected.

A tragic loss for everyone involved

What should be happening is a training course mandatory just like riders go through to get a motorcycle endorsement first and riding test for agility and abilities to test there skills. DMV rules of the road testing, mandatory certified helmets must be used boots or suitable foot wear gloves, eye protection etc. A fee paid to get a license to use the paths not the streets or sidewalks, this should be for E- bicycles that have pedals, and E- motorcycles that have foot pegs no pedals! there are kids riding the E motorcycle to go to baseball practice in my neighborhood I see 2 that do this regularly and speeding by my house speed is 25 I would say they pass at 35 + mph in the street one guy the older one passed me on the sidewalk as I was receiving a furniture delivery I almost stepped onto the sidewalk but I stopped just before stepping up just as he passed! Very scary situation to incounter when you don't expect that. This kid thinks he's invincible has no respect for his safety or others, I want to follow him but then I would get in trouble you know. I suggest reporting these situations each time you see this and where and what time then the police will see the pattern and stop them . I did see them stop a kid between the skate park and amon park one day kid was on the sidewalk then when the light changed he went into the street then the blue lights came on and a block later the kid was stopped by the policeman.whe I was young we had mini bikes with Briggs and Stratton gas engines on them they were fast and fun but not cheap to buy so there weren't very many in my area not like the situation of today we got tickets and you only got one then the second stop was confiscate your mini bike. The police would take it from you.

🙏🙏 Rest in peace

That’s a tough one

Deeply sorry for the loss. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
