My condolences to the family of the young man that was killed by a Emerald Bay resident. However, this is a glaring example of the “priveledged” residents disregard for the “untouchables of the world. The person who KILLED this young man obviously was not paying attention to passing traffic. My guess is that he/she was in a hurry and had no regard for others when exiting. Instead of installing a traffic signal that will further endanger ALL drivers, why not have the wonderful residents of Emerald Bay learn that they are a part of the community and must drive with the same vigilance as the rest of us.

Laguna Beach is roughly 5 linear miles of pristine residential coastline cut in half by a high-speed freeway and operated as such by the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS). The problem Emerald Bay experiences is high-speed motorized traffic encountering slower speed residential traffic and non-motorized traffic on the same roadway. This dangerous condition prevails the entire length of Laguna’s Coastline, not just in Emerald Bay. This condition can improve simply by changing policy thereby changing the way the streets are operated. Both CALTRANS and cities are now mandated by Complete Streets Policy to balance four modes of transportation and do so safely. The sooner Laguna city government recognizes these mandates and adopts the new policy, the sooner we will drive safer Complete Streets. Read more about Complete Streets Policy at LagunaStreets.
