Ever since the city wasted money by creating a median and getting rid of the space for a bike lane or pedestrian safety area between Lonetree and Sunset, this has become a very dangerous corridor. Between the horrible design and Los Primos Auto always parking in the NO PARKING zone in front of there business. I”m suprised it has taken this long for a tragic event to occur. Especially for the guy in the electric wheel chair that travels through there everyday.
anything that is not walk or bike friendly is poor planning these days.
No news to me that that area between Lone Tree and Sunset is dangerous. Los Primos’ customer parked illegally in front and opened car door right into my lane of traffic. Had to swerve and slam on brakes to avoid accident. Almost rear ended. Almost on top of poorly planned median. A cop could make his wages in that area writing citations everyday, all day. Hey Brentwood Cops WAKE UP.!!! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT MEDIAN AND ROADWAY BEING 5 INCHES FROM TELEPHONE POLES? NO bicycle lanes or sidewalks but a median. Another stupid Brentwood city decision. Safety? SAFETY?
