A fatal crash near an elementary school critically injuring a 6-year-old girl and killing her mother last week in Los Angeles prompted a committee of the Los Angeles City Council on April 26 to pass two motions for the establishment of a dedicated speed bump program near all schools and to explore increasing school crossing guards.
“We have to do the work to ensure that the safety of our children, our mothers, fathers, and grandparents are the priority. I want to use every tool in our toolbox to ensure that the safety of our people takes precedence over traffic time,” Councilwoman and Transportation Committee Chairwoman Heather Hutt said during the meeting.
