And now police will get involved.
Per Jacobsen's jack russell terrier Jack Sparrow was killed in August during his daily walk when he ran onto Dyers Pass Rd and was struck by a boy racer vehicle, which then fled.
Mr Jacobsen met with the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and city council staff at the start of this month calling for more to be done to stop boy racers along Dyers Pass Rd.
In response to Mr Jacobsen's calls, it was decided a meeting will be held soon between police, the community board and city council staff to discuss ways to stop boy racers.
Mr Jacobsen said multiple measures will be necessary if the problem is to be fully addressed.
"I think there should be a drastic change in how we treat and tolerate boy racers. Whether that is heavier police presence, point to point cameras, ordinary speed cameras, road bumps . . . at this stage, I deem it to be such a serious problem and not just for myself, but also after listening to other people, that I think it is something that should be taken extremely seriously and we should act on it now before it's a human being's life that's lost because of one of these inconsiderate people," he said.
A date is yet to be set for when the meeting will be held.
