Orange County supervisors voted this week to fast-track the installation of a traffic signal in Coto de Caza at an intersection where anOrange County Supervisor Lisa Bartlett said there was an outpouring of "grief and concern by community members" in September when Bradley Rofer was killed in a crosswalk at Coto de Caza Drive. The boy, who was riding his bike, was wearing a helmet but still sustained fatal injuries.
Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley said the area "does feel like there's a lot of fast, speeding cars in a predominantly residential community... The infrastructure has not kept up with the population growth... You have my assurance as I transition into representing the Fifth District and the community of Coto de Caza I will take the baton from Supervisor Bartlett and continue to expedite the project.
County traffic engineer Denis Bilodeau told supervisors that a project of this kind would normally take two years "but we're going to try to fast-track that as quickly as possible... We're hoping to fast-track this and have it done in 18 months."Copyright © 2022 by City News Service, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
