On November 15 th 2017, The Eagle Rock Association (TERA) sent a letter to Council District 14 requesting the City address known and on-going traffic safety issues on Yosemite Drive. That letter was prompted by a horrific car crash one month prior that sent a student to the hospital. It is now seven months since that letter and no indication the City will do anything to substantially improve conditions along the corridor for the thousands of residents and students that interact with the street every day. The fundamental issue on Yosemite – a street design that favors car speeds over pedestrian safety – remains unchanged. As the one year anniversary of the aforementioned crash approaches, TERA urges immediate action so that students and residents alike need not fear being struck during the simple act of crossing the street or exiting one’s driveway.
