We, the residents of Calle El Parado in Green Valley, California, are petitioning for the installation of speed bumps and a reduction in the speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph. These traffic calming measures are urgently needed to address the ongoing issue of dangerous speeding on our street.

If action is not taken, the risk of serious injury or another fatality remains unacceptably high. Residents are left feeling unsafe in their own neighborhood, and families are hesitant to allow children to walk, bike, or play outside. This is not just a nuisance—it’s a public safety issue.

Calle El Parado serves as a cut-through for commuters traveling on San Francisquito Canyon Road, especially during rush hour, as they attempt to avoid the main intersection in Green Valley. As a result, drivers regularly exceed the posted speed limit—often reaching 40 mph or more—endangering the lives of residents, families, children, pets, and pedestrians who use the street daily.

San Francisquito Canyon Road is already notorious for reckless driving, excessive speeding, and illegal passing over double yellow lines. This area has tragically seen several fatalities and county data confirms the ongoing risks. Calle El Parado is directly impacted by this traffic pattern and has become an extension of the problem.

As traffic volume continues to increase and driver behavior becomes more aggressive, proactive steps must be taken to protect our community. Installing speed bumps and reducing the speed limit are low-cost, high-impact measures the County can implement immediately to slow down traffic and prevent future harm.

We urge the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the LA County Supervisor’s Office to prioritize the safety of Green Valley residents by approving and installing these essential traffic calming measures on Calle El Parado.
