This is tragic accident.

I feel especially sorry for the motorists involved.

I would like to see a little more monitoring of the pedestrian foot traffic in the California/El Camino Real intersection area.

People tend to ignore the cross walks and traffic lights on a regular basis.

Living in the area we go through this area on a dailey basis and have to be extra vigilant when passing through.

The matter will only be exhaserbated once the new ball park opens.

People relly need to learn to use good common sence when crossing the street and a little common courtesy.

Did anyone else notice that when this was first reported in the paper the article refered to "a 61-year-old woman" but then said that her identity as still unkown? How did they know she was 61 and not 60 or 62 or 59 or even 63? What did they find on her or at the scene that would give her age but not her name?

"Tragic... The El Camino and College Avenue crosswalk is another dangerous spot. Why is it that we don't have at least occasional enforcement at non-light crosswalks on El Camino?" Ask and ye shall receive. I'll see if I can convince my friend to do it tomorrow.

We went and tried to write pedestrian right-of-way violations last Saturday at College & University. Unfortunately there were very few pedestrians and we observed no violations.
