This is where a driver recently killed pedestrian and grandmother Veronica Vasquez. Hopefully this dangerous intersection is addressed before we add hundreds more new residents on foot, adding additional car and pedestrian traffic to the area, increasing the chance of more fatalities.
There was much discussion about how current laws do address many of the challenges. In fact, much of the proposed ordinance simply restates existing law.
Traffic enforcement, for cars or e-devices, is somewhat quixotic.
Thank you, Carlos Romero, for your support of data based decision making on these very expensive decisions. Previous highway widening projects have simply resulted in more cars on the road and more delays, especially on local streets.

So the City can endanger its residents and not face any consequences?
