What’s Next

The traffic calming measures suggested by the City and approved by residents on September 28, 2010 have been approved by the City. The City has also obtained funding from the State.

The residents want the City of Poway to stop all delays and implement the traffic calming measures now. In addition, we seek for a temporary or permanent 4-way stop sign at the corner of Valle Verde and Solera/Vinter to enhance the approved traffic calming measures.
