Please note the improvements to Escuela at that corner. Dedicated turn lanes and signals to match have taken a lot of the danger out of that area. Idiots will still be idiots but I feel much safer since the improvements.

No traffic mitigation? You mean something like the huge new, improved traffic lights that were being installed BEFORE Mr Ware's death?
Yet another citizen blissfully unaware of the much higher incidence of car vs bike/pedestrian events that happen just a couple blocks over on El Camino between Shoreline and Rengstorff.
But I guess if it wasn't in the news, it didn't happen, right?

It's good to see that Mr. Ware will be remembered in the neighborhood where he lived. It's also sad that there was another fatal collision that took the life of a pedestrian over at Phyllis and Hans this week.
I've also seen MVPD traffic officers covering specific areas of town each day this week, espcecially around the schools. The dept's FB page is a good source to find out where they are working and the page is public so you don't have to be on FB to view it.
