| Historical Perspective - as published in the
March 2006 issue of the Cotobuzz Journal: "
The
figures also clearly indicate out-of-control increase in
accident rates when the board fired the CHP and a mirror image
decrease in accident rates when residents forced the board to
bring back the CHP
It
also proves that the “Coto traffic accidents” are
preventable incidents – and not the same as the accidents
one finds in highway 405 on the way to LAX as a board
supporter incredibly argued. It also refutes the notion
that Coto did not have a traffic control problem as the same
person told the LA Times. " |

In comparison, the Coto de Caza traffic
incidents for the same period show a near high quarterly r3ecords with
one injury and 5 property damage for the quarter ending 12/31/2011 and
2 injuries, 4 property damage and 2 DUIs - Correspondingly, the CHP
patrol hours is still significantly down from the 120 hours per month.

| The GRUP Syndrome
continues to take a hold in Coto de Caza - where individuals
50+ are responsible for more traffic accidents than any other
age group 0 consider that more than 60% of the total
citations issued in May 2011 went to people 40 years and
older, and 28% 50 and older, we continue to make the argument
that the Coto board of directors has a public safety ticking
bomb on its hand. Let's hope it does not turn into a
fatality, such as when we issued the prophetic
warnings in 2005 - Rhianna
Woolsey died (December
7, 2005) in the first traffic fatality in Coto de Caza in the
last ten years, followed three months later by a traffic
accident that claime Mr Morteza
Manian’s life. |

Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch 1Q2011 Public Safety Review
Coto de Caza, CA –By its own words and actions, it is fair to argue that Coto de Caza’s local governance is not only apathetic when it comes to public safety, but its own actions actually result increase the risk to residents. Worse, seems like adults in Coto de Caza have similar views as the local governance.
Our research over close to ten years indicate that whether a community is safe or not, is primarily a function of residents and local governance, not law enforcement. Consider that when a city in Orange County is deemed the safest city, what about the other 11 cities or the unincorporated areas? What about Coto de Caza with the highest crime rate in history in early 2010. After all, only common denominator is that the OCSD is the law enforcement agency. What does the OCSD do differently in the safest city, as opposed to the least safe city under its watch?
Coto de Caza's Traffic Incident Rate at Critical Danger Levels
Coto de Caza, CA - While the Coto de Caza's total population has been shrinking for the last ten years, including placement of 17 property liens for the month of January 2011 out of roughly 3500 homes, the policies pursued by the CZ Master association board of directors, the local governance, have consistently increased traffic with a reduction in CHP patrol hours, with predictable results. Consider that for close to a decade, we have consistently shown conclusive evidence that there is a direct correlation between the extent of the CHP traffic enforcement efforts and the number of traffic accidents in the community.
Coto Continues on Dangerous Course of Traffic Incidents
While Incident Rate Lower, Still at Critical Levels
Coto de Caza, CA - The good news for Coto de Caza residents is that the quarter-to-quarter accident rate for the quarter ending March 31, 2011 is significantly down from the previous quarter. The bad news is that it is still at the same levels as when the community experienced its two traffic fatalities within a three month period between December 2005 and March 2006
Coto de Caza Fires the CHP - Again!
Coto de Caza, CA - The CotoBuzz Journal has documented the one-sided hate-hate relationship between the CZ Master Association board of directors and law enforcement agencies in general, and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) specifically (CHP). In an open board meeting for example, a board member called the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) extortionists! Despite the public abuse the CHP has received from the Coto de Caza board of directors ever since the board was coerced into bringing the CHP back for pro-active traffic patrol, figures indicate that the CHP has been doing its job: - The Chart below was published Sept. 30, 2006.
