We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and CID/HOA board of directors and report the facts!
Coto de Caza's Dangerous Curves
Around 75% of the accidents within Coto de Caza happen in three of Coto’s main roads as shown below: Coto de Caza Drive, Vista del Verde and San Miguel
The
3Q2007 CHP collision statistics, clearly
demonstrate that even though CHP patrol hours are down
some 60% compared to 2006, and there is no coordinated
safety awareness program such as the one proposed by
CHP’s Captain Elzig, the annualized collision
figures are at an all time low - Captain Elzig
refers to most accidents as preventable incidents.
Congratulations Coto, your are growing up!
In efforts to keep the momentum, with
the help of concerned Coto residents, we are
publishing a list of the most dangerous places in the
community, either because of blind alleys, or the need
to navigate sharp turns.
We know for example that the tragic death of
Mr. Manian (March 2006), happened right off of Vista
del Verde – although not a blind alley, there is a
need for a sharp turn.
