“Are we fated to live on an unsafe street forever?” asks frustrated reader.
Q: Recently, a drugged driver smashed into our minivan, which was parked on the street in front of our house. Thank God no one was hurt, even the driver.
Several neighbors mentioned that this had happened in front of their homes, too. There was also a young boy killed in an accident while riding his bike down our street a few years back. Does the city track incidents like this to see if certain streets need safety improvements, and if so, what the criteria are for taking action? The city’s overall traffic fatality numbers are abysmal, so whatever they are doing is clearly NOT working.
Neighbors have asked for speed bumps on our street to try to slow down drivers, but I was told we weren’t allowed to have them, because fire trucks from the Minnesota Avenue station use Hicks to get where they are going. Are we fated to live on an unsafe street forever because of this?A: I can only offer a glimmer of hope.
There are no planned safety projects here at this time, but San Jose is taking a closer look at intersection design to see if there are any upgrades they might be able to implement.
