This Saturday, a Town Hall neighborhood meeting will be help at the Richmond Rec Center from 10am to 12pm (full details below). Join Richmond Supervisor Eric Mar, Richmond Police Dept. Captain Corriea, and representatives from the Planning Department and the Municipal Transportation Agency to discuss traffic calming proposals and pedestrian safety. All community members are invited to share their suggestions for better streets, transportation and neighborhood improvements.
A similar topic was addressed in Captain Correia’s weekly newsletter:
>>During the month April 2009 there were 25 injury automobile collisions in the District, which brings the year to date total to 100. We continue to address this problem through education and traffic enforcement. Year to date officers have issued 4,272 moving violations, which is 32% more than were issued last year at this time. During April 2009 ten individuals were arrested for DUI in the Richmond District. During the past week, there were 21 traffic accidents 6 involving injuries. There was also 1 arrest for driving under the influence.<<
Clearly something needs to be done to address the increasing number of traffic-related incidents in our neighborhood. School is almost out and more kids will be walking the streets and using neighborhood facilities during the day. If you have ideas on how to address our growing traffic problems, please attend the meeting.
