Just awful. I am so sorry for the family.
Please please don’t inject politics into these comments. The family is in grief. A kid is dead. Nothing else matters right now. There will be other times to argue about traffic, bikes, or whatever else is on your mind that can help our community thrive.
That is very tragic. Those streets in that residential area of Old Town Goleta are too narrow going in opposite direction with vehicles, dangerous for cyclists, skateboarders and very populated; plus too much parking on both sides of the streets which that is a big issue. I sure wish I had the answer to this major problem to make it better and safer for that residential area but I don’t.
yes its a bummer that street has no sidewalks and is pure chaos. the city is at fault and should pay for the families funeral since they have no signs and have failed to reduce the speed limit to 5mph in that area!!!!
think the city is at fault speed limit is way to high no matter if the driver was driving the speed limit! make the city pay !
