Resident urges city traffic calming at Lincoln Road after near‑miss crash; requests signs and crash posts
Summary
A resident, John Fulmer, told the council about a recent 2 a.m. crash that nearly struck the same home hit in 2017 on Lincoln Road and asked for flashing warning signs, reflective signage and crash posts near 850 Lincoln Road to protect homes and pedestrians; staff directed the resident to Public Works (Josh Wolf) for follow‑up.
A Yuba City resident raised safety concerns about Lincoln Road after reporting a near‑miss crash at about 2 a.m. that he said came close to striking the same house impacted in a 2017 crash.
John Fulmer told the council he lives at 850 Lincoln Road and described prior crashes at the location, including a November 2017 DUI crash that tore through a duplex and injured occupants. Fulmer said he has submitted multiple YC311 requests for traffic calming and has observed an increase in semi‑truck cut‑through traffic and ongoing high speeds. He asked the council to consider flashing warning signs, enhanced reflective signage and crash posts in front of the home and said existing enforcement appears limited because officers prioritize locations with fatalities.
Mayor and staff directed Fulmer to Public Works staff (Josh Wolf) to further evaluate potential traffic calming or physical protection at the location. Fulmer framed the request as targeting immediate physical protections (signage and crash posts) rather than broader measures, and he noted the city’s enforcement priorities and limited enforcement resources.
No action was taken at the meeting; staff said they would follow up with the resident.
