This happens every morning as people are rushing to get their kids to school on time.

This has been an issue on Lake Lindero Dr between Thousand Oaks Blvd and Reyes Adobe Rd for over 35 - 40 years. The speed bumps installed approx 30 years ago have not done much to slow down the speeders. Stop signs should be considered at 2 or 3 do the intersecting streets along this stretch of roadway, which would be about the only way to slow people down. Your traffic engineer will probably say this is not necessary, but your traffic engineer should apply common sense instead of what,it says in "the book"

Thank you for using SeeClick Fix to report this issue. We will contact our local law enforcement personnel to advise. Please contact me if you have questions. 818-597-7314 - Louis

Traffic that won't slow for speed bumps may not stop for stop signs either. This is especially true where drivers seldom experience cross traffic.It becomes far more dangerous for pedestrians, especially children, who rely on the signs. I suggest that the city consider some traffic calming measures other than speed bumps. Bulbs, or chokers, can be used at intersections to slow cars and shorten the path to cross the street. See: http://www.pps.org/reference/livememtraffic/#TIGHT%20CORNER%20CURBS A "choker" was placed on Carrell where it intersects T.O. Blvd. some years ago and seems to have been very effective.

That would be wonderful. People have been speeding on this street for years and I even see people passing cars that are doing the speed limit from time to time. We won't even let our children play in the front yard because we are so concerned about their safety.

Ed, you make some very good points. The original speed bumps were much more effective. At some point the bumps were made longer and not as steep which made them ineffective. The original bumps would really jerk you forward if you hit them too fast.

I was taking some videos to post to this ticket and stopped after I had a couple of speeders flipping me off and one yelling F*** You A** Hole out his window. I didn't want people to come back later and damage my property.

About a year ago a couple of people from the city came out and watched the street for 20 minutes or so but I there didnt seem to be any people speeding at the time they were there.

I have also requested that the speed bumps be returned to their original height but the city engineer at the time told me that it may damage people cars. I though that was the whole point of speed bumps.

Honestly I would just like to have the city do anything they can to slow the traffic down on this street before a child is hit. A year or so ago a lady speeding down the street hit my neighbors dog and destroyed the front of her car. The bumper fell off and there was a huge dent in the hood. My sone was supposed to be coming home at that time and I heard what sounded like a child screaming and my heart stopped and I ran outside to see that it was a dog instead of my child. It was still sad to see but that is why I am so adamant about having the city address the speeding issues on this street.
Thank you so much for you attention to this issue,
Mike

Thank you for your concerns and comments provided. This has been pass along to our Public Works Department for review.

Louis,
I see that the city placed the radar machine on my street again and it shows many people at 30+. This is the same location that the radar machine has been placed the last 4 times it has been on my street. I would recommend that you place it on the opposite side of the street facing the opposite direction. The people traveling North of the street are traveling even faster especially in the morning during the week while they are racing to get their kids to school before the bell rings.

One other note is that the location of the radar machine is measuring peoples speed while traveling over the speed bump. While the radar machine is still registering people at 30+ over the speedbump they are traveling much faster between the speed bumps.

It would be great if we could get those round about that have been brought up, increasing the severity of the speed bumps, or adding double or triple the number of speed bumps.

Thanks again,
MIke

Thank you for the comment and suggestion. This information will be passed onto the Sheriff's Department who deploy the traffic trailer, and to our Public Work Department regarding the speed bumps.

Louis,
We are back to people speeding like crazy again. Usually taking kids to school around 7:45am. I was pulling into my driveway just last week and almost got hit, with my children in my car, because someone was trying to pass me on the left as I was slowing down to turn into my driveway. It is out of control how fast people go on this street. Can you please help in any way to reduce the speeding. Steeper speed bumps or Bulbs, or chokers as you have previously suggested? Sending the police out slows people down for maybe a day or two only. Someone is going to get seriously hurt on this street. I have already witnessed a couple dogs and cats hit. Those animals could have just as easily been a child.
Thank you,
MIke

Thank you for advisement once again. This information will again be passed onto the Sheriff's Department, and to our Public Work Department regarding the traffic calming requests.

Thank you Louis

Yes, Please install STOP signs on Lake Lindero @ Janlor, Rainbow View,Cape Horn ( 2 intersections) Hackers Lane, Lake Nadine, and Dovetail. Lake Lindero section is a quiet neighborhood and we cannot have vehicles at such speed monitored. If a child or person is hit, these requests can be easily used to sue the city for neglect after repeated pleas. Saddest will be if a life is lost. Louis, Please expedite this and make it a high priority. Thank you !

A kid who lived at 5901 Lake Lindero Dr was hit by a car in early 80's at the northern end of Cape Horn on Lake Lindero Dr long before there were speed bumps. The skid marks left by the 1950's era pick-up were over 75ft long. Luckily, the kid who was hit was the son of a ER doctor who scooped up his son, rushed him the Westlake Hospital ER (Now a vacant lot) and actually revived him in the ER waiting room with CPR. It Is estimated the truck was going 60mph.

Cars are going way to fast on Lake Lindero Dr. I walk my dog every morning and see it every day!
Also please neighbors coming from Hackers and Dovetail please make a full stop before turning onto
Lake Lindero Dr.
Thank you!

Thank you for the report. We will once again speak with law enforcement and review the request for signage, etc. Additionally, please contact the Sheriff to advise them of the speeding cars. Vehicle details will assist deputies with enforcement on the defenders. Thank you. Louis.

We used to roll soccer balls, basket balls tennis balls and other things out into the street when we would see a speeding car coming down the street. Drivers would slam on their brakes thinking they were about to hit something. Probably not a smart thing to do, but we were just stupid kids.
