Resident tells council dangerous turn near Citrus College has led to accidents, requests center divider or traffic signal

At the April 19 meeting of the Glendora City Council, Jackie Garcia, on‑site property manager at Hacienda Mobile Home Park, told the council the driveway approach from Foothill Boulevard creates a safety hazard when drivers turning into the park encounter opposing traffic moving to turn into Citrus College.

Garcia said there have been multiple collisions in that location, including “actually 1 fatality,” and presented a resident petition asking the city to explore solutions to reduce crashes. She suggested a center divider or a traffic signal as a budget‑friendly fix and asked staff to investigate options and potential next steps.

Mayor David Friedendahl thanked Garcia and said the council would look into the matter. Staff did not present a specific timeline or staff assignment in the public comment period; council members later noted they would follow up as part of routine traffic and public‑safety review processes.

What was said: “While traveling south from Foothill Boulevard to turn left into our park, we are met with opposing traffic using the same lane to turn left into the college,” Garcia told the council. She added she had a petition from residents and urged immediate attention to make the area safer.

Next steps: The council acknowledged the concern and said staff would review the complaint and return with options; no formal motion or funding decision was made at the meeting.
