THE SITE: Ace and Dwight streets in San Diego's Oak Park. |
|
Today we update two traffic problems we wrote about last month.
STILL WAITING: Residents who would like to turn a tiny street in San Diego's Oak Park area into a one-way road have been asked to query their neighbors to make sure there is broader support.
George Gochez and Charles Davis, who live on Ace Street, said many drivers have crashed as they speed down Dwight Street and make a sharp left turn onto Ace Street.
They would like to make Ace Street one-way going uphill. Deborah Van Wanseele, the city's deputy director for transportation engineering operations, said she wants a gauge of neighborhood support before deciding what to do to make the street safer.
Gochez and Davis are going door to door to gather support.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE: Deborah Van Wanseele, at (619) 533-3126 or dvanwanseele@sandiego.gov.
STILL WAITING: Residents concerned about speeding cars on Cowley Way, south of Field Street in San Diego's Bay Park, may soon get some relief.
The city won't put in the speed bumps that some residents would like. However, an evaluation did find significant speeding, said Senior Traffic Engineer Julio Fuentes.
Fuentes is optimistic that the city will have money for an electronic speed-monitoring sign in the fiscal year that begins in July. The sign, which will flash the speed of cars exceeding the 25-mph limit, will cost about $15,000.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE: Deborah Van Wanseele.
