Jorge Garza looked both ways multiple times and raised his hand in a stopping gesture to vehicles that passed by as he attempted to cross Maple Avenue at Hawthorne Street on Wednesday.would improve safety for the neighborhood on either side of Maple Avenue by reducing the number of driving lanes from four to two and adding a middle turn lane.“Our goal is to provide choice in your transportation options,” Kornblum said.
However, businesses along Maple Avenue, like El Rey restaurant, fear the city may make the wrong choice by reducing lanes on a busy thoroughfare. Raymundo Castaneda has owned and operated his business for nearly three decades and worries that reducing lanes will only increase congestion in an already congested corridor, including for emergency vehicles trying to get to the Medical District.
“In principle, it’s not a bad idea should the situation be different, but unfortunately, it’s not,” Castaneda said. He agrees Maple Avenue needs changes to increase pedestrian safety, but he thinks more traffic lights and enforcement could accomplish this. Cutting driving lanes along Maple Avenue is the wrong strategy.
