In June of 2019, Prospect residents submitted a petition to County Public Works (PW) to improve line of sight when exiting Prospect. The application requested that some parking spaces on northwest side of Alameda de las Pulgas at Prospect be removed. The discussion now that County sent a proposal (Feb 2020) is to weigh this request against the mitigation County has done thus far (trimming over-growth for improved visibility) and the major new Alameda configuration of a 4-3 Road Diet. That road diet will address this issue and similar problems along both the Santa Cruz and Alameda roadways.

Lane width on Alameda de las Pulgas is a major factor if we are to have reduced speeds and have all of the safety improvements inplace. Why? Well there are really two aspects:
1) Motorists naturally drive slower in narrow lanes, even slightly wider lanes have a dramatic increase in motorist's speed.

This webpage pertains to the Santa Cruz / Alameda Y Intersection. Our community has the distinction of having one of the most dangerous intersections in all of County. Core to that problem is obviously the design that has skewed road approaches and high speed design, both at odds with Federal Highway guidelines.
