Council urged to prioritize Lerdo Highway corridor after CSAP findings
Summary
Consultants flagged Lerdo Highway (Poplar to Zircher) as a top priority corridor in Shafter's safety plan; council members pressed for segment-specific analysis, time-of-day breakdowns and targeted countermeasures given pedestrian, school and truck traffic.
TJKM highlighted Lerdo Highway from Poplar to Zircher as a top-priority corridor after the city's five-year collision review. The presenter told council members that corridor segmentation will be used to tailor countermeasures because different segments show different crash types and implementability.
Council members asked whether segmenting Lerdo by time of incident would change project choices and whether enforcement or low-cost fixes could be used in the short term. The presenter said the team will "definitely do that" and may break Lerdo into two or three segments so some countermeasures can be implemented quickly while others remain longer-term.
