How many more people have to die before something is done about the dangerous intersection at Ridgecrest Road and Vista Point in Victorville?
The City of Victorville has already approved a traffic signal for this intersection, yet it remains unfunded and unbuilt.
Tonight, we lost more lives. Two vehicles were reportedly racing, and innocent people were killed.
Families are now facing a loss that can never be undone.
I have emailed your office asking for help and have received no response.
This intersection has been a known safety concern. Approval without funding does not make it safer.
Studies and promises do not stop crashes. We need funding and action before another family loses someone they love.
I am publicly asking you to step in and help identify federal, state, or other transportation funding that can get this signal installed as quickly as possible.
How many fatalities will it take before this becomes a priority? Victorville residents as well as Spring Valley Lake (County Area) deserve more than condolences after another tragedy. We need action before the next one.
