Subject:Light at bridge & branch
Date:Monday, April 27, 2026 10:04:00 PM
Hi City Council,
I’m a Village business owner and Arroyo Grande resident, and I wanted to share a quick
thought as you’re considering which elements from the Traffic Way Bridge detour might stick
around.
I know bringing back the traffic light at Bridge and Branch wasn’t one of the options being
discussed, but it felt like a good time to mention it. While it was there, it really seemed to slow
traffic down through the Village and made things feel a lot safer for pedestrians.
Since it’s been removed, I see illegal left turns coming off Bridge all the time—multiple times
a day. It creates a pretty sketchy situation in an area that already has a lot of foot traffic.
One idea could be closing Nevada at that intersection again and doing a three-way light.
Nevada would still be accessible from the car corral or Mason, but it might help with overall
safety and flow at Bridge and Branch.
It just felt noticeably better and safer with the light there, and I’ve definitely missed it since
the project wrapped up.
Thanks for taking the time to consider.
