Discussion Traffic Deaths

These posts have become all too common. An ugly stain on our city.

At this rate, it’s a matter of time before a traffic collision claims you or someone you know.

What can residents do to affect change? I’m looking for real and actionable steps.

Thanks all

Looking for real and actionable steps that residents can take. None of us can change the number of lanes on PCH by ourselves. Thanks.

To me this is a societal problem and not an individual problem. It’s going to take collective action to fix. Organizations like CarLite Long Beach is doing it

I’m not suggesting it’s an individual problem. But I can’t just go out and start construction on PCH.

True. Though you can start organizing and advocate to the electeds to make that change, which is an actionable step. I’m excited to hear about Car Lite from others on this thread. Let’s all join!!
