Resident urges traffic signal or 4-way stop at J Street near Oakdale High after repeated crashes
Barbara Finley of 1003 West Jay Street addressed the council during public comment to report years of accidents on J Street behind Oakdale High School near the PG&E yard and to request traffic-safety changes. Finley described frequent crashes, flat tires, damaged curbs and vehicles encroaching into the bike lane; she said drivers often speed through the area and that large vehicles sometimes end up in oncoming traffic while navigating the outcropping.

Finley recounted a June 22 crash in which a young driver hit the curb outcropping, struck a mailbox and a telephone pole, damaged PG&E equipment and ended up on the sidewalk in front of a driveway. She thanked the council that school was not in session on that day and asked the council to consider installing a traffic light or a four-way stop "before it's too late." She left contact information with the police chief for follow-up.

No formal action was taken during the meeting; public services and police staff were in the chamber and the chief asked Finley to leave contact information so staff can follow up.
