Ocean Park, Santa Monica Residents  - (on Hill Street from 4th to Main Street and on 3rd Street and 2nd Street South of Ocean Park Blvd): Speeding Traffic Endangers Us All!

On 03.15.19 there was a fatal hit and run accident on 3rd Street just south of Hill Street. 2 days later a speeding car crashed and totaled a parked car on Hill Street between 4th and 3rd Streets. (In recent years, a child was hit by a car and dogs have been killed, among other incidents in the immediate neighborhood).

       Our Streets Are Becoming More Dangerous By The Day 

Residents on Hill Street, and on 3rd and 2nd streets South of Ocean Park Boulevard urge the City of Santa Monica Traffic Management Division, to take immediate actions to prevent speeding in our neighborhood. These actions include:

Installing rubber speed cushions, which will prevent speeding but not impede emergency vehicles.

Painting Green Bike Lanes - to educate motorists these streets are shared with others. 

Lowering the speed limit.

Making our streets “local access only”  to avoid traffic being directed through our neighborhood by apps such as WAZE.

Reconfiguring the corner at 4th and Hill Street so that cars have to fully stop before ramping & speeding down Hill Street towards Main Street.

Installing pedestrian-controlled flashing lights at the cross-walk on Ocean Park Boulevard at 3rd Street.
 
     If you live in this neighborhood, please support our efforts to make our streets safe, join our movement and sign the online petition!

*Please leave your address in the comments section, if possible, so the city can see how united the neighborhood is in our endeavors.

Thank you.
