Local residents are calling for plans to make North Fair Oaks Avenue safer from Washington Boulevard north to the City’s border.

“Please implement safety measures in my neighborhood,” said T.J. Knight in correspondence to the Planning Commission. “I have lived 1/4 mile from North Fair Oaks for 25 years, during which time this street has not been safe. Pedestrians and cyclists are people. People have died and will continue to die on North Fair Oaks due to motor vehicle traffic until your committee takes decisive action to improve safety.”

The Planning Commission held a study session on Wednesday to review and discuss the preliminary update to the Fair Oaks Orange Grove (FOOG) Specific Plan.
