The officials in Providence are once again taking action against illegal vehicles being driven in the city as the warmer months arrive. Mayor Brett Smiley and Col. Oscar Perez are set to unveil the administration’s new strategy at a press conference at 10:30 a.m. Smiley recently expressed his commitment to addressing the quality-of-life issues faced by Providence residents. Despite efforts to crack down on illegal vehicles over the last two years, the problem persists in the city. Smiley acknowledges that this activity tends to increase as the weather gets warmer, so the city is preparing for spring and summer with a fresh approach.
