Subject: Fw: LQ areas of concern -safety
To: Bryan McKinney <bmckinney@laquintaca.gov>
Cc: Danny Castro <dcastro@laquintaca.gov>
Bryan,
A couple of weeks ago I asked for your feedback on some safety issues raised by residents here at
Trilogy.
1) Old Town near Enzo's - it is very dark on Avenida La Fonda from Enzo's intersection (including
intersection) to city hall.
2) Also, the sidewalk on the North side of this street just stops (rock and dirt). This should be paved
so people can safely walk this area.
3) Avenue 50 - seems the North side of the street was recently repaved, but the South side was not. The
rest of Ave 50 between Jefferson and Madison should also be paved. The road is chewed up in very bad
shape -- again for the safety of those driving this.
4) Street lighting on Madison, particularly as it approaches Ave 60 and Trilogy.
Can you help me with answers to this question and how they might be resolved? Perhaps we can
discuss at tomorrow night's Planning Commission meeting.
Dale
